Alex Martinez - Founder - CEO

Alex Martinez

Founder - CEO

Alex is the founder of MartiniWorks. He also manages to build weird aftermarket vehicles that no one really understands, but he likes it so does it really matter? After being in the car community for 10 years, MartiniWorks is the final chapter for Alex to pursue his dreams of having a home for all types of motorsport enthusiasts.

Lars Vogler

Founder - CTO

Lars is one of the co-founders of MartiniWorks. When he's not talking about servers and data stuff, he's trying really hard to be a racecar driver and you can usually find him off on some random adventure with his M2.

Having been friends with Alex for nearly a decade, he's excited to leverage technology and pure enthusiasm for the automotive lifestyle into building a website that makes it as easy as possible to share and show off your builds of all kinds, allowing us to build an awesome community of like minded people.

Ben Schnell

Head of Engineering

My name is Ben and I'm the Founding Engineer of MartiniWorks, which pretty much means I built the entire website from the ground up. I'm responsible for making sure the website is the best experience in the automotive industry for enthusiasts like you.

When I'm not building websites, I'm either running laps on iRacing, trying to survive in Tarkov, or refining my photography skills. I've been into cars since I was in high school, and my dream is to get into time attack or wheel to wheel racing one day.

Daokta Stone - Creative Marketing Lead

Dakota Stone

Creative Brand Manager

Ayo! I'm Dakota, and I like cars. My main goal has been to always experience as many different platforms as possible, and make content showcasing my experiences for any petrolhead that wants to listen. I said that's my goal, in reality I am experiencing as many platforms as possible, but spend most my time slapping wheels and giving Alex & Gels a hard time while we work on our projects. I've been into cars since middle school, and I've been making videos since than too. If you want even more chaos, follow my other socials!

Alex "Gels" Gelina

E-Commerce Marketing Manager

Also known as Gels. I seem to gravitate towards naturally aspirated four-cylinder or rotary powered cars and I can't escape them. With a background in mechanical design I find myself tinkering with things more often than I should. Which has made me try my hand at many different things in the automotive realm. I enjoy learning new things and skills that I can apply to my love for cars. At some point I decided to pick up a camera and start documenting all the shenanigans I get myself into which has led me to where I am today, working alongside other passionate automotive enthusiasts. If sub 200hp NA cars are also your jam make sure to follow my personal socials!

Hey! I'm Carissa. I have a passion for helping people, especially making sure your fitment is near perfect and getting you quality parts. If you've ever reached out to our chat bot, that's me!

Brent Gass

Content Producer and Strategist

Yo! I'm Brent. When I'm not driving cars I'm filming them. I have a huge love for motorsports of all kinds and partake in as many track days and event as possible (mainly drifting)! I firmly believe that form and function can and should exist together in a build. The drift culture fully embraces that. I love to learn as much as I can automotive, sharing that knowledge with our content we post here at MartiniWorks!
