Brett Martin
Multi-Platform Producer
Brett Martin joined the WAVE 3 News team as a Multi-Platform Producer in Dec 2019.
Previously he worked as a producer at WAND in Decatur, Illinois.
He’s a Madison, Indiana native who graduated from Southwestern High school before attending Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois.
He got his start in broadcasting on the radio with WJMU 89.5 the Quad in Decatur.
When he gets a break from work he’s spending his time listening to music or relaxing at a local restaurant.
If he’s at home he’s spending time with his dog Hercules and watching TV.
Brett's always looking for a chance to connect with other members of Delta Sigma Phi when they're passing through town.
