UFH: Brandon Martus

Congratulations Brandon! :slight_smile:

It’s been said before and I’ll say it again. Without you this forum wouldn’t be the forum it is today. Heck, without you Chief Delphi (.com) wouldn’t exist at all! The UHF award is long overdue but well deserved by you.

Keep up the great work! :cool:

Brandon,
Without you… the FIRST community would not be the way it is today.

Thank you for ALL you have done, not just for the community, but for me personally. You’ve certainly had a positive impact on my life, and I really do appreciate it.

I’m happy to see you honored (finally).
It just shows that worthy candidates can’t hide from this honor forever. :wink:

You really are the man.

Your Friend and Un-worthy Fan,
John

I know you have probably heard enough of it but… Congratualtions Brandon, you definately deserved this.

Brandon,

I have only been involved in FIRST for a year, but I can already see that you deserve this. In your own unique way, you have help to expand the FIRST community beyond competitions and teams. Thanks for everything you have done for FIRST.

Congratulations, Brandon!

You have done so much for this community - you created it’s nervous system, you helped it grow and build so many new inter-connections, you’ve given all of us a place to go where we can experience all of the great FIRST feelings.

Thank you for doing it! What an amazing set of accomplishments you can be proud of!

Ken

its been said a few times before, but i have to repeat it… this honor is long overdue. i’ve never even met brandon, yet he somehow managed to change my whole FIRST experiance for the better. without the work that he put into CD, there would have been a giant hole in my FIRST experiance, and for that i am truely grateful.

thank you brandon martus for your dedication, inspiration, and genuine love for FIRST; and may your hard work continue to change the lives of today’s youth!

Brandon is great.

When he and David Kelly set up the WFA website (http://www.firstawards.org/), it was amazing to see Brandon’s effort.

Once the WFA committee got done giving their input on the site, nominators began to to through the process to input their entry. Brandon attended to each person’s question and concern in a very timely manner, just like he does on this site.

Brandon is an amazing benefit to the FIRST community. Countless teams benefit from his efforts each day.

Thank you Brandon!

Andy B.

Congrats!

Despite the short time i’ve been on, I know you so deserved this. ChiefDelphi is great. (Read: really wicked awesome) Big thank you for hosting FIRSTwiki. And thanks for the patience to read through all my questions/comments/bugs. :stuck_out_tongue:

I think we all agree:
Thanks for everything!

Karthik said it best- without the Chief Delphi forums, FIRST would most definitely not be the same. For one thing, I wouldn’t be half as addicted to it as I am now. =)

My first reaction when I saw Brandon’s name as the UFH was “You mean he hasn’t gotten it yet?!”

Granted, there have only been a handful or so thus far, but even FIRST rookies like myself recognize Brandon as one of the “big names” in FIRST. (Now there’s something to be proud of. :wink: )

I mean come on, how many spotlights are there about how much work we make you do? =D

Congratulations!

Brandon, one of those people who stays on the sideline, but does everything. What a great person to give this award to. Congratulations Brandon!

Congratulations Brandon!

This network of relationships that have been created due to this Chief Delphi website is amazing. Your dedication to this site is also incredible. To have developed and improved the chiefdelphi.com website to what it is today makes you ever so deserving of this award. It was excellent to meet you in Atlanta this year. Keep up the good work!

Eric

Wicked Awsome Guy! We just recently met in Atlanta and I realised how tall you realy are :ahh: …But in all honestly you totaly suprised me how much you enjoy doing first as much as i enjoy it. You my Friend are a First class act. :slight_smile:

Dave Ferreira

Hey Brandon…

Very nice award for a very deserving person…You do as much as anyone to keep FIRST alive during the whole year. We all appreciate your efforts and dedication to this site and to the FIRST Community.

Congratulations Brandon … definitely long overdue and very well deserved …

Can’t wait to meet you at Wonderland this weekend !!

A definite congratulatios to Brandon on this honor, it’s LONG overdue.

Wow… look what I found. I was wondering when I would be able to use this :stuck_out_tongue:

Brandon: My middle name is Lee … because thats what my Mom and Dad named me.
They named me after the actor in The Crow who died of a real bullet in the movie prop gun
I’m a LEGEND;
or so the goth guy at Hot Topic said one day.
I was like “Dude. I was like 14 when that movie was made.”
Well… Not a legend in that sense, but a legend among FIRSTers none-the-less.

Congratulations Brandon!!
A well deserved, and long awaited UFH honor for a great guy!!

And Brandon, don’t try to hurt me for quoting you… or worse, delete my ChiefDelphi.com account!! :ahh: :ahh: :ahh:
I would be very sad if either of those happened.:frowning:

Brandon Congrats on being the 9th. Unsung Hero. You truly deserve the recognition for everything you’ve done to not only help make Team 47 be much more recognizable with the CD Forums but for the help and hope you have given other teams that there really is a dedicated area that holds the answers to many vets and rookie teams questions. Maybe the next big step is to nominate you for the Woodie Flowers Award. =)

Once again brandon you deserve and Congrads.

::bows down:: we’re not worthy… :stuck_out_tongue:
Congrats on the honor, you really deserve it…I think you more than anyone else has lead to the creation of more year round FIRST addicts :stuck_out_tongue:

Congrats Brandon, you deserve this big time.

Way to go, Brandon! You totally deserve this honor. Without you, there would be no Chief Delphi forums … then what would we all be doing??? :confused:

Keep up the AWESOME work!
