Selected as Honorary Captain for his work during the COVID-19 pandemic, he helped set up live streams for the Aliquippa High School athletics so parents and friends could watch sporting events this year.
He has also helped veterans connect while streaming video games live.
“We all need connection,” said Martin. “If there’s anything this pandemic has shown it’s that everyone needs the interaction, they need their friends, they need their family, they need their restaurants and that’s for sure, but if we can’t have them, there is there is always another way. “
