When Did you Join Rotary?
Joined Rotary in the summer of 2003 right after starting to work as an insurance agent in Martin, TN at Brundige Insurance. This was right after I graduated from Union University in Jackson, TN. At that time the club had over 70 active members and we had an average attendance of 45-50 each week. My grandfather-in-law, who was my father’s law partner at one time, Harold Brundige, was my member sponsor. The Rotary Soccer Pavilion at the Martin Recreational Complex is named in his memory.
What have been your roles for Rotary since joining?

From 2010-2014 while working in Jackson, TN at Union University, joined the Jackson-Old Hickory Club. Served as District Grant Chairman, Membership Chairman, and Vice President of the club.
Returned to the Martin Rotary Club in 2015. Served as Membership Chairman in 2016-2020. Served as Vice President / President-Elect 2020-2021. Currently serve as President of Martin Rotary Club for the current year.
Why did you join Rotary?
Joined Rotary because my father is a Rotarian in Dresden, and Harold Brundige was a Rotarian in Martin, TN. Was a member of the Interact Club at Dresden High School. Always considered myself to be civic minded and wanted to join a civic organization when I became a business person in the community. When I began my career in insurance, I could think of no better organization to join in order to impact the community.
Why should Martin community members choose to join Martin Rotary Club?
Will echo what Audrey Roberts said last month. It is very rewarding to know that as a Rotarian, you can respond to needs locally and that through your membership in the District and Rotary International you can change lives all over the State of Tennessee and the world. ... See more
