Kody Martin
Kody Martin was born and raised in upstate New York, Sackets Harbor, precisely. Out of high school, Kody went to St. John Fisher College as a Sports Management Major, but in 2013, he decided to join the United States Marine Corps, where he really discovered his passion for leadership and serving. After two deployments to the Middle East and one four-and-a-half-year enlistment, Kody returned to the things he loves, matter of fact, the things most upstate New York residents love: family, the United States of America, history, hunting, and fishing.
Kody has since spent seven years as a Department of Defense Firefighter at Fort Drum and acquired his Associate's Degree in Business Management and Fire Engineering. While he has enjoyed continuing his passion for serving, he has also enjoyed woodworking and spends much of his off-time working with fellow small business owners to accomplish their dreams.
Kody has always found inspiration in his parents' work ethic and, over the last five years, in his wife's desire to assist every small business owner they meet in marketing their talents.
