Energy industry and having a heart of service with Kevin Martin
Kevin Martin was born and raised in Virginia and had no particular interest in politics as a child. Following in the footsteps of several members of his family who had pursued scientific endeavors, he enrolled at the University of Virginia and took a course in pre-medicine to eventually work in the medical field. Kevin had a heart for service and wanted to help make a difference in people's lives. He did not pursue medicine though and earned a bachelor's degree in psychology. After college, Kevin stayed with his grandparents.
Kevin did a few different things; ran a movie theater and worked in the restaurant industry until he got into the oil and gas industry. Those early experiences taught him a lot about people. Everywhere that Kevin had been, he always wanted to do his best and see what he could learn from the experience that had been put before him.
How did he transition to become a lobbyist for the energy industry?
What does he like most in his current role as a lobbyist?
These are some of the questions Kevin Martin will answer as he shares his journey in this new episode of State Lobbying Heroes.
