Berman was featured in the May/June issue of i4 Business Magazine. Below is an excerpt from the article.
Marty Berman goes to the office every day determined to work harder than everyone else, and Lake Nona’s striking architecture, high-end landscaping and iconic public artwork reflect that conviction.
The founder, chairman and CEO of Berman Corp., the national facilities management company that cares for nearly every business within Lake Nona’s 17 square miles, formed his strong work ethic in his first job, as a firefighter in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. “I went to them as a 19-year-old who didn’t know how the real world worked,” he said. “The firefighters taught me to constantly try to be better, to train and to learn.”
Seven years later, he decided to try something new. “I wanted to learn how to build houses,” he said. “And I thought, ‘If I fail, I’ll come back to firefighting.’”
