“After a rigorous and skillful search, the Board found an ideal candidate close to home and unanimously endorsed Martin for the role of president. He brings a strong faith base, professionalism, knowledge, and strategic leadership skills to guide Shell Point, as the community focuses on the expansion of its services and campus,” said Dr. Mark O’Farrell, Chair of the Board. “There is no doubt that this is the man sent by God to lead this community.”
