James started his career at Marty’s Barn Cellar in the summer of 1999, making him the most familiar smile in the store. His favorite part about working at Marty’s is “creating peace in people’s homes and the amazing generational customers.” Since starting at Marty’s, James married his wife, Aletta, in 2008. A few years later they welcomed daughters Isabelle in 2014 and Piper in 2017. When James is not helping customers complete their visions at Marty’s, he enjoys woodworking, cycling, and spending time with family.

Erin Mclaughlin-Eller and Joshua Eller purchased Marty's Barn Cellar from Erin's parents, Mike and Colleen McLaughlin, in September 2022. They can be found at Marty's daily in a collaborative effort to improve all aspects of business operations, while honoring more than 50-years of small business and family traditions extending into many beautiful homes across generations here in CNY. Erin and Josh have three children -- Raegan (2020), Emrys (2022) and Raya (2024). In addition to their work at home and Marty's -- Erin enjoys journaling, baking and kickboxing. Joshua is an American Poet who enjoys fitness training, world literature, and rare opportunities to play Magic: the Gathering with his brother and friends.

Jeremy started working at Marty’s Barn Cellar in April 2022 and his employment comes to an end in October 2024, as he continues navigating a life and career of service. Over these past two-plus years -- Jeremy has grown tremendously, integrated with our families, and served as a primary point of contact for many of our customers across projects and deliveries.

We appreciate his energy and contributions, while remaining excited for what comes next in a young man's life and for Marty's Barn Cellar!
