Hey 5103,
Martin's attitude makes things worse. He passed off my good friend Sttathi Pappas from Mt. Rainer just because of his own ego. Stathi's departure still hurts and affects Mt. Rainer.
Martin is one of those guys that are just selfish and unsafe to work with. Other than that, he might be a good lawyer, I'm glad he saved one operation from destruction and that he collects historical logging operation photos...
