Mr. Martin is responsible for mentoring countless individuals and has had a profound influence on their lives and careers.  For those who know Mr. Martin personally, know his greatest trait is his humility and his goal is to “leave this world a little better than he found it.”

Mr. Martin will punctuate his illustrious legacy to public service by undertaking his greatest challenge yet.  In the September of 2007, he began walking to raise $10 Million for the 9-11 rescue and recovery workers by walking from the George Washington Bridge in New York City to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California – beginning “a Journey for 9-11.”
