Martin's journey in the wireless industry commenced in 2003 within a wholesale club setting, and he has since demonstrated unwavering dedication and expertise.

The district he managed consistently led the company in CRU total activations for multiple quarters. Furthermore, he ensured that all locations achieved their business certification by surpassing stretch goals within the first quarter annually, resulting in higher commissions due to becoming certified.
In September of 2022, Martin joined RS&I, Inc. to assume the role of Area Sales Manager in the Florida Territory. In that role he developed the territory and utilized his vast experience to drive incredible growth. He also proved his leadership skills by assisting other Area Sales Managers around the country, and assisting the Corporate Team in many ways.
