Reuben Martin joined Midwest Assistance Program, Inc. in 2024. Reuben brings a diverse background in municipal and state utility experience, as well as private construction. As a Kansas Class III Water Operator, he has overseen all aspects, including construction, operation, and testing/reporting of groundwater distribution systems ranging from populations of 1,000 to 15,000. As a Kansas Class IV Wastewater operator, he has managed and operated small lagoon systems and mechanical plants along with the collection systems feeding them. Working for the Kansas Department of Transportation and maintaining municipal roadways and right-of-way has given him a wide array of experience with equipment operation and roadway maintenance.
Growing up in rural Central Kansas taught Reuben the value of hard work and attention to detail. Having been in every position from trainee to superintendent has allowed him to be a part of many projects at every level. This allows him to see situations from different perspectives. He has a great deal of experience in diagnosing mechanical issues, evaluating problematic situations, and guiding others through emergencies. Reuben has helped train multiple water and wastewater operators from various backgrounds and age groups.
Reuben puts these skills to use not only in his professional life, but his personal life as well. His passion for the outdoors complements his personality perfectly. Being an Eagle Scout, Reuben developed a taste for anything outdoors at a young age. Whether he is hunting, fishing, or trapping, it is his primary goal to manage and conserve our natural spaces. His career has closely followed these principles by making sure the systems under his watch were meeting all requirements to be as beneficial as possible to nature.
