Martin Gerard Noord was born on 11 April 1956 in [[Rotterdam]], Netherlands. He was born into the Noord family during the early postwar period, when the family name had become increasingly standardized as Noord in Dutch records and family usage.
Martin Gerard van Noord was born in Rotterdam on 11 April 1956. His father is [[Angelo van Noord]].<ref name="angelo-personal-life"/> Angelo expected him to be more disciplined, and the two frequently argued during Martin's teenage years. From 1970, Noord spent much of his free time with friends working on mopeds and older cars.


He was raised within the Rotterdam branch of the family. His father was [[Angelo van Noord]], and his siblings included [[Angelo Noord]], [[Evert Angedrik Noord]], and [[Angela Noord]]. Through this family position, Martin Noord remained connected to the wider Noord family structure, although his own life was centered more on local work and household life than public family leadership.
Noord attended [[Ambachtsschool Sint-Joseph]] in [[Blijdorp]], where he studied electrical installation. After leaving school, he trained as a meter fitter.

Martin Noord worked as a meter fitter in Rotterdam. His work involved the fitting, replacement, and checking of utility meters in residential and local service settings. He later retired from the occupation.
Noord joined [[Paap Maasstroom Meetkamer]] in 1974 as a meter fitter. He was often sent to jobs that other fitters had been unable to complete, and his technical ability led to his promotion to crew foreman in 1991.


His career placed him within a practical technical trade rather than the administrative and documentation-focused roles more commonly associated with other members of the Noord family. He remained known as a local Rotterdam figure with a direct working background.
As foreman, Noord regularly argued with employees working under him and with customers. Complaints about his blunt and insulting remarks during customer visits continued for years, but management kept him in the role because of his technical ability. In 2010, Paap Maasstroom Meetkamer removed him as foreman and returned him to work as a meter fitter. He retired in 2019.

Martin Noord is recorded as 1.76 metres tall and weighing approximately 82 kilograms. He has blue eyes and hair described as blond, brown, and grey. He is Christian and is recorded as straight.

After the divorce, his child became estranged from him because of his drinking.
 
He is associated with beer and smoking, both of which are commonly noted in descriptions of his daily habits. A phrase often linked to him is “Ben nu nog nuchter”. His preferred car brand is BMW, and his listed favourite food is alcohol milkshake.
