Meet the People Behind MartiniWorks

Alex Martinez - Founder

Alex Martinez

Founder

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

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.

Mario Perez

Founder

The car community started everything for me. It's the reason I picked up a camera and started putting videos on social media when I was 12 years old. Fast forward 13 years, I'm super blessed and excited to be a part of building something in this space with a team that truly lives and breathes this culture. When I'm not hanging out with Alex, Lars, and the rest of the team, I'm probably at a Drake concert or making videos about rap music.

Dakota Stone

Creative Marketing Lead

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

Marketing Operations Lead

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!
