Certified by InterNACHI® | Residential & Specialty Property Inspector

Russ Martin brings over four decades of leadership, precision, and customer-focused professionalism to the inspection industry. After retiring in 2024 from a distinguished 42-year career in the grocery business, Russ transitioned his skills of operational excellence, quality control, and team leadership into the world of property inspection—where his commitment to detail and integrity continues to shine.

Throughout his grocery industry career, Russ was known for unmatched professionalism, consistency, and accountability. His work demanded a meticulous eye for organization, safety, compliance, and efficiency—all qualities that directly translate into his success as a Certified Professional Inspector. Managing large-scale operations and maintaining high customer satisfaction required Russ to identify problems before they became costly issues, ensure adherence to regulations, and uphold the highest standards—skills that are vital in every inspection he performs today.

In addition to his inspection credentials, Russ has played an integral role within Trident Pest Control as a lead carpenter, overseeing complex structural repairs, wood restoration, and WDO (wood-destroying organism) damage corrections. His carpentry expertise gives him an exceptional understanding of a property’s structural integrity, construction methods, and the interplay between moisture, pests, and material degradation. This hands-on building knowledge gives Russ an edge in identifying subtle defects that others might miss.
