Martin grew up on the family Garden Center in Whitestone, NY where he developed his love of horticulture, landscaping and working with plants and trees.
Initially, Martin took a different education path, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in literature from Manhattan College, Riverdale, NY. With a fellowship to Vanderbilt University he continued studies in literature and to teach.

Martin explored the area’s cultural and arts scene as well as the multiple gardens, parks, and natural areas. He took great pleasure researching and scheduling itineraries for visits of guests and escorting them around South Florida.
