Hey Everyone Name is Manuel Martin, i'm 33 years alive and hoping to get another useful 50. I have big aspirations and hope to someday expand my company to the point where I will have the capability to angel invest. To me the greatest gift one can give to another person is the freedom to pursue their talents, gifts, and dreams. I’ve had people take a shot on me and I hope to pass it forward to other young entrepreneurs. I’m currently a FedEx contractor and love every minute of it. It’s been my dream to be a successful entrepreneur and, while FedEx has it’s challenges, I’m very happy to be where I’m at. I’m married with two dogs, both of which are snoring as I type this. I grew up on a dairy farm and worked for the family the age of 12 to 21. While most kids were playing racing games on their PlayStation i was driving that really slow tractor on the road that probably angered you. When i stopped working on the family farm i decided to start my own jelly company, specializing in pomegranate jellies. One of my products was a pomegranate strawberry marmalade, till this day it's the best jam I've ever had (although I've had some pepper jellies that are to die for). While working on my jelly company i got really involved in politics. As someone who believes in maximum freedom and the right to self determination, i felt it was my duty to do everything i can to defend individual freedom. I quickly learned politics is simply a Red Vs Blue war, and has nothing to do with principles or campaign promises. I've worked many years in restaurants from local mom and pop Italian restaurants to big chain restaurants like Chili's and Olive Garden. I worked for HP for three years as a mobile engineer. That's a fancy title for an HP tech that fixes enterprise laptops and Laserjet printers. I truly enjoyed my time at HP, HP is a great company. After my ended my jelly company (Grocery store margins are rough) I created Lovusion, a luxury gift box service. My boxes feature handmade artisan soaps, handmade bath bombs, handmade bath salts, milk baths, candles, wine, custom made wine glasses, and up to two dozen roses. Love makes the world go round and we want to help it flourish. I shut Lovusion down because going to school full time, working 30 hrs a week, trying to pilot an internet startup that shipped physical products was hard. I almost sold Lovusion, but sadly, my two prospective buyers pulled out when they learned the company was not a simple drop ship company and instead required some grit.
