Martin started as our Staff Accountant April 28, 2025. She grew up in a military family, which meant moving frequently throughout childhood—including some international locations, but mostly along the East Coast. Her family eventually made their way to Evansville after her dad retired from the military and took a new role in the area. Martin was drawn to our company’s core values from the start and quickly got the sense that employees are truly valued. She’s also excited to be part of a growing team where she hopes to blend her skills to help support that growth. She began her career in public accounting, where she gained broad experience across auditing, tax, payroll, and IT implementations. After 12 years, she transitioned to a performance contracting company, where she spent the next 19 years working in a variety of accounting-related roles. Throughout her career, she’s had the opportunity to be part of many initiatives and projects—learning a great deal along the way, both independently and from those around her. She’s excited to carry that experience forward and have some fun along the way! Outside of work, Martin enjoys spending time with friends and family and going on trips with her husband, whether it be a destination vacation or just a weekend trip.

Ortega started as our Safety Coordinator April 14, 2025. He is originally from Santa Rosa, California and moved to Louisville 10 years ago to be close to family. Ortega is excited to use his skills and “learn new ones to help an already awesome company.” Before Gribbins, he was a project manager for a HVAC company. There, he wore many hats since it was a small company, but he took particular pride in safety—always striving to make sure the team worked safely and went home to their families just as they arrived, with all their fingers, limbs, and well-being intact. Ortega’s favorite part of the job is helping people gain the knowledge they need to work safely and prevent serious injuries. When asked who inspires him the most, Ortega said, “God inspires me to be the best person I can be for my wife and family.” In his free time, he enjoys reading books, kayaking, camping, going to sporting events, and going on road trips with his wife and dog.

Bowman started as our Billing Specialist on March 24, 2025.

Bowman feels like joining our company is the perfect opportunity to dive into something new, and she is eager to learn, grow, contribute to the team, and challenge herself in new ways. Before Gribbins, she worked in both nonprofit and industrial settings, gaining experience in customer service, administrative support, and operations. These roles have strengthened her skills in problem-solving, multi-tasking, and understanding people’s needs. Problem-solving has always been her favorite. Whether it’s researching solutions, streamlining processes, or finding ways to support others, she finds a lot of satisfaction in making things better. When asked who inspires her the most, Bowman said, “I’m inspired by kind people. There’s something so powerful about small, genuine acts of kindness, and I strive to bring that same positivity into my own life. I recently came across a quote that resonated with me: “I want my time on earth to be one big act of kindness.” It’s a beautiful reminder to lead with compassion in everything we do.” Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family, especially outdoors, and getting lost in a good book.

This previous experience has given him a better understanding of what it takes to complete large projects and the critical role safety plays in the process. His favorite part of the field is collaborating with others to achieve a goal and learning about the different components needed to complete big projects.
