Corey comes from a long line of educators, coaching young athletes and devoted to community service. His mother and father both taught special education.  His mother retired as the Director of Special Education in Mobile County. His father coached various high school sports, and mentored young men. Corey’s grandmothers were educators, and his uncle was one of the first black principals in Mobile. 

Corey’s passion for sports and inspiration to serve led him to honor his family’s legacy of mentorship by working to make his own impact on local youth.  In 2017, Corey saw the need to give boys (ages 9-14) an equal opportunity to become well-rounded young men. As a result, he founded Lampro Asteri, the 501(c)(3) mentorship program, locally known as the Fairhope Boy’s Club. Each week, you will find Corey at Fairhope Intermediate School and Fairhope Middle School, teaching 60-75 boys the principals of leadership; God First, Attitude, Integrity, Truth, and Honesty.  Understanding the value in diversity and collaboration, they don’t just offer their own voice as guidance, Corey’s vision was to bring in other local leaders, business owners, and professionals so that together, they could help the boys reach their true potential.  His goal is to create future leaders by preparing the boys to be mentally, physically and spiritually healthy as they grow to be men.

Corey Martin serves on several boards within the community: Fairhope Educational Enrichment Foundation FEEF (3 years), Rotary Youth Club (4 years), City Recreation Board (2 years) and Celebration Church as Financial Advisor (4 years).
