Martin Rich has been a commissioned Justice of the Peace for The Commonwealth of Massachusetts since 2009, originally appointed by Governor Deval Patrick. He has also achieved success in several professions.

Martin’s first career as a professional photographer started in 1974 in the Boston Area. As both an artist and an entrepreneur, Martin rose to the top of the profession, serving Boston’s Elite, and earning several awards for photographic excellence.

In 2001, Martin joined Verizon as a Sales Engineer responsible for technically supporting Internet products and introducing them to Verizon’s traditional sales channels. In the years that followed, Martin assumed increasingly challenging Senior Sales Engineer positions at several leading telecommunications companies.

In addition to his role as Justice of the Peace, Martin has returned to his entrepreneurial roots as President and Chief Executive Officer of Martel Solutions. Martel is a full service Telecommunications consultancy and agency, whose focus is helping clients navigate the “Age of Communications.”

Martin holds a BS in Marketing from The University of Massachusetts. Martin is the current president of The Massachusetts Justices of the Peace Association, and was the 2014 recipient of The Richard M. Percoco, Sr. Award for distinguished service to the association.
