Michael Martin

Michael was born on November 18, 1960 in Midland, Texas to Bobbie and Jo Ann Martin. He graduated from Lee High School in 1979. He played trombone in the Lee Rebel Band and football. After graduation, he attended Midland College for a year preparing to become photography; however he took a turn in direction. He had a gift with tools and was always repairing items about our home and car.

Michael started working as a trainee for Energy Industry. He worked there for 29 years in the field and shop, and many times as a trouble shooter, which took him from Lubbock to Weatherford. His next employer was CSI and worked there for eight years. His position at the end of his career was Senior Lead Technician. He enjoyed his work and association with his co-workers.
