In 1999, at Mark Cuban's request, Woodall acquired, upgraded, and made operational the world's first Boeing 757 charter jet that featured 100% first-class seating and service for the transportation needs of Cuban's recently-purchased Dallas Mavericks. In 2007, after seven years of sustained success, he moved this model to wide-bodied jets, and initiated the world's only All First Class Boeing 767 charter jet. To date, Woodall-managed 757 and 767 charter jets have generated more than $150 million in revenues without incident. See more at: http://mlwair.comTo his credit, Woodall is also the only individual to have designed and implemented custom interiors for factory delivered Gulfstream G5 and Gulfstream G550 as well as a Boeing 757 and a Boeing 767.

In 1990, Woodall completed the construction of the American Airlines Center for Mark Cuban, and has provided strategic oversight for the facility and its officers from inception to the present day. The arena, home of Cuban's Dallas Mavericks, as well as the NHL's Dallas Stars, maintains a top ten ranking as one of the highest grossing sports and concert arenas in the world, and Woodall has served as one of the six board members since 1999.

The Woodall Foundation was founded in February of 1999 as a compassionate response for children in need. Martin Woodall, former Vice President of Mark Cuban Companies, wanted to give back to the community where he had lived, worked, and experienced a great deal of financial success for over 20 years. Forming this foundation allowed Martin to accomplish this goal while at the same time help those less fortunate.Martin chooses his beneficiaries carefully and prefers supporting smaller, local organizations dedicated to helping children and their families overcome medical hardships. The true reward of Martin’s efforts comes during his visits to the organizations he supports. There he can personally witness how the Woodall Foundation has changed the lives of those he has reached.Support from the Woodall Foundation comes in several different ways all aimed at “building a brighter future for kids.” To date the Woodall Foundation via our friends and supporters has donated over $1,400,000 to children’s charities throughout the Dallas area and is committed to helping these organizations in the future.The four major beneficiaries the Woodall Foundation supports are the Cancer Support Community, Bryan’s House, Autism Treatment Center, and Texas Discovery Gardens.

As a member of the advisory board, Martin Woodall provides sales and marketing services, as well as strategic planning to the former Broadcast.com and Yahoo! Dallas data center. Vergent is a 29,000 sq. ft. facility with over 8,000 sq. ft. raised-floor data center dedicated to private and virtual private servers, and public and private cloud storage. Vergent has co-location for customer-owned servers available as single racks, private cages, or private suites. While leading Broadcast.com, Woodall built this data center as part of a pioneering vision to bring streaming audio and video to the Internet. After Yahoo! purchase of Broadcast.com in 1999, Yahoo subsequently leased and upgraded the facility, using it until 2011. In 2012, Woodall and partners upgraded the facility again, and reopened it as the Vergent and operate it under the trade name Ellum.net. This Tier III data center is SSEA 16 SOC compliant, has 11 diverse fiber entrances and is the home of DroneData.com.

After Yahoo! purchased Broadcast.com, Woodall and Mark Cuban continued their working partnerships that began in 1983. As Cuban’s portfolio expanded to 42 entities, Woodall served as Vice President for the entirety of Mark Cuban Companies. His position was also responsible for all financial operations. Additionally, Woodall served as Vice President of the General Partner which encompassed both the American Airlines Center in Dallas and the Dallas Mavericks NBA franchise..

In 2002, Martin Woodall joined Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner as founding investors for the startup and subsequent launch of the first Direct TV high definition channel. HDNet launched at the time when HD TVs were first becoming available to consumers. HDNet became instantly a national brand and was also the only content for retailers to display the new technology - High Definition TV. Ultimately this venture fueled Woodall's American Airlines Center in becoming the first to broadcast an NBA game in HD.

In 1990, Mark Cuban, his college buddy Todd Wagner and MicroSolutions partner Martin Woodall, met in a warehouse in downtown Dallas to form a new company. Audionet, which would later be renamed Broadcast.com, marked the dawn of audio/video streaming, and was the leading Internet multimedia company. When the company went public on July 17, 1998, shares of Broadcast.com more than tripled in price with trading opening at $18/share and rising as high as $74 before closing at $62.75. At the end of the day, the stock had closed up nearly 250%, with a new market capitalization of more than $3 billion. A year later, Yahoo! completed its acquisition of Broadcast.com for $5 billion.

In late 1982-early 1983, IBM began shipping their first personal computers to retailers. About that time, Mark Cuban--having just graduated college--walked into Woodall’s computer reseller office looking for a job. A handshake agreement later, they had formed MicroSolutions—a company that would sell IBM PC hardware in the burgeoning PC market. With Woodall as Chief Executive Officer and Mark Cuban as Vice President, MicroSolutions grew into the most recognized PC vendor, integrator, and software reseller in Dallas. The company was recognized as one of the Inc 500 fastest growing companies in 1987, 1988, and 1989. In 1990, with 125 employees and $25 million in annual revenues, Woodall and Cuban sold MicroSolutions to CompuServe.

While was working at Direct Response Group, Woodall began a small side consulting business focusing on software support for Dallas companies that had purchased TI mini-computers. He eventually spun this off into a new venture selling accounting software for TI mini-computers and a new multi-terminal, multi-processor micro-computer by Televideo. At the time, the Televideo system was state-of-the-art, with up to 16 stations with individual processors, and an attached 20MB file server. Woodall’s one man operation thrived due to the fact that he had the only multi-station computers and accounting software in Dallas. As revenues increased, he moved to a 300 sq. ft. office in north Dallas.As "PC" began to become a popular term, IBM, Toshiba, and Compaq prepared to release their first personal computers.

While working at Texas Instruments, Woodall began to moonlight at a small Dallas marketing company developing Cobol language applications for the TI mini computer. His software enabled customized advertising mail to be printed--a forerunner to 'junk mail'--and caused the Direct Response Group’s revenues to skyrocket. Soon, this part-time job at a low-tech marketing company was paying twice what his TI salary was, even though the TI job involved developing top secret military systems. Woodall finally made the decision to quit TI and move permanently to the marketing company.

In 1976, Texas Instruments (TI), made the first single chip microprocessor commercially available, which created the first significant change to the information age. This milestone also marked a change for TI, as they began to hire their first software engineers rather than electrical engineers. Woodall was one of those new hires. TI hired him fresh out of college and paid for his relocation to Dallas, where he was soon working under a top secret security clearance, leading a R&D team for military weapons aiming systems.

During Woodall's college years, IBM mini computers began joining the ranks of the IBM mainframes on the campuses of colleges and universities. Woodall quickly realized that that mini-computer was the next evolution in computing, and decided to dedicate his studies to this nascent industry. He completed a BS and MS in Computer Science, and was a Computer Science instructor as part of his master's work. As a young computer scientist during this time, his cutting-edge tools consisted of punched cards, Fortran, and Cobol programming languages.

In Hamlin West Virginia, Charles Yeager is the biggest hero there is. Martin Woodall’s dad was friends with Yeager growing up, and knew him as "Chuck" well before the rest of the world did. They graduated from Hamlin High together in 1941 and, six years later, Chuck Yeager would become the first man to travel faster than the speed of sound.When Woodall and his brother graduated from Hamlin years later, Chuck had already inspired their interest in flying, rockets, and technology. His brother had the characteristics of a young engineer, while Martin was more of a budding scientist. While awaiting their chance to test prototype aircraft like Chuck did, the Woodall boys began preparing with more modest flying machines...model airplanes. Their first missions included flying planes that were controlled by a wire. These planes were able to fly in circles around the operator, but could perform some interesting maneuvers, such as inverted flight. At age 10, Martin moved to radio-controlled (RC) airplanes when his parents bought him a Heath Kit RC system, which he soldered together himself. After some initial production problems, the kit flew as intended. Martin also drove RC cars and built and flew a balsa wood RC airplane put together with glue and Mylar-covered wings—shrunk to fit with a clothes iron. His production wasn't perfect but the craft taxied beautifully, controlled by a handheld transmitter. Years later, when he saw the movie October Sky, Woodall immediately felt a connection to the young scientist Homer Hickam. Hickam was raised in a coal mining town in West Virginia and had an infatuation with flying. Woodall remembered his own time launching model rockets, which he graduated to around age 12. Built from cardboard tubes, balsa wood, and powered by Estes rocket engines, his flying career at that time culminated with his most successful launch--a two stage rocket with a mouse payload which successfully returned to the West Virginia hills via parachute.
