A DO alumnus who served as the A Cappella Choir’s organist, Martin earned a Master of Music degree from the University of Texas at Austin in sacred music and organ performance. He holds a performer’s certificate in organ and accompanying from Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music, and he is presently working on a doctorate in worship studies.
