Pre-event ritual
I listen to the succession soundtrack and look at photos of my cats.
If I wasn't an athlete
I'd build a homestead in the mountains and have no social media, haha!
How I got started
When I was 19, I started a car club in Wisconsin called the Wisconsin Car Enthusiast Club. It was an action I took after getting a bit bullied in the local car scene because I didn't come from a mechanic-oriented family background. That said, this group would turn out to become the largest online automotive group in Wisconsin. From there we hosted car shows, driving events, and more. Since those early years in 2012, I have grown to establish some fun brands like MartiniWorks where we sell car parts, which then launched my AlexMartini social channels. As of 2025, we're doing some awesome travels across the globe where we get to experience different car cultures, racing series, and more!
On my day off
I spend most of my time outside gardening, reading, and spending time with my wife and friends!
My ideal roadtrip would be
I have always wanted to travel around the coast of Europe in a 1996 Porsche 911 in the middle of summer. I can't imagine there'd be a better way to enjoy the coastline!
