Testimonials
Jake Martin has proven experience navigating the complex environment of federal regulations leading to successful project delivery. He employs a thoughtful and proactive approach to project formulation that assists clients in maximizing federal and state funding sources. Jake cuts through red tape while representing clients resulting in projects completed on time and on budget.
Jake is a rare talent that possesses the character, leadership, and competence required to manage in a fast-paced, customer-facing operations and service environment. Jake's vast knowledge and expertise in federal regulation and processes are only surpassed by his technical expertise. Jake's highly successful tenure as an employee of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a military officer in the Army's most strategic technical units has enabled Jake to perfect the skills required to successfully execute complex projects with strategic implications within large-scale bureaucracies across the globe.
I strongly recommend Jake Martin, whom I led as team leader in the 871st Forward Engineer Support Team-Advanced (FEST-A), U.S. Army Reserves, from January 2019 to December 2023. FEST-A is a mobile, rapid-response engineering unit that deploys to solve complex problems alongside Army ground forces. Jake consistently excelled with outstanding technical expertise and leadership in high-pressure environments... Honest, dependable, and organized, he improved operations at a 9,000-person base camp in Kuwait while supporting the Department of Public Works.
