Beyond the slightest hint of an accent, Martin possesses a keen sense of humor that sometimes surfaces in his projects. He takes particular interest in the expression and execution of ideas through technology, and has been known to captivate the entire firm with his facile, interactive presentations. On one such occasion, he led the team through an impressive tour of a project–when suddenly a large animated spider crawled across the screen.

Originally from American music capital of Nashville, Martin attended University of North Carolina and worked as a web developer prior to the dot com crash. Having studied biology, art history and film as an undergrad, architecture seemed like a logical pursuit for his varied interests. After receiving his masters from University of Colorado, he headed to the Roaring Fork Valley to practice architecture, experience the culture of smaller community and enjoy the river, golf, skiing, and tennis.
