I was born and raised in Lexington, and having grown up on the local junior tours, Kentucky has and always will hold a special place in my heart."

Martin is a native of Lexington, Kentucky and a 2015 graduate of Morehead State University, where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a focus in Marketing. He was also a four year scholarship member of the men’s Division I golf program.
