From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Stanley Fuller(July 5, 1958-) known professionally as Staszu13 is an American Wikipedian who, in the "real world" is a worker at a factory just outside of Baltimore, Maryland.

Staszu13 was born as Martin Stanley Yetsky on July 5, 1958 in the Chicago suburb of Elgin, Illinois. He is of Hungarian, Irish, Polish, Lithuanian and Swedish descent. His father worked as an automobile mechanic and his mom had worked as a telephone operator. Staszu13 got his handle from a nickname given to him by his mom, Carol: "Staszu" is a diminutive for "Stanislaw", the Polish equivalent of Stanley.

In 1965, his parents divorced. The family was living in Silver Spring, Maryland at the time, but moved back to Chicago later that year. Carol remarried to a man named John Fuller, who worked at the local Schwinn Bicycle plant and both martin and his brothers and sisters had their family names legally changed to Fuller at that time (1968).

The family moved once again in late 1975 to Baltimore, where (with some exceptions) Martin and his family have lived since. Martin Fuller attended the University of Maryland from 1977 to 1980 but did not graduate (finaces); he did graduate from Loyola University in New Orleans in 1988 with a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism. He had intended to work in television news, and briefly held a job at CNN in Atlanta, but lost the job due to undisclosed reasons. After a variety of odd jobs, Fuller got a job at Solo Cup in Owings Mills, Maryland in 2004 and has worked there ever since.

He lives quietly in suburban Baltimore County. His interests include computing, sports (especially soccer, ice hockey, and baseball) and old television programs.
