#1 Jet.com Insider here :)
Hi Everyone,
I'm Eric Martin, the guy who won first place out of over 350,000 entries in the Jet.com's Insider competition in 2015. I'm a follower of Jesus, my wife is Melody, and we have three little girls. At this point in my life, I'm trying a few different things and not really sure what I'll end up doing. I recently audited the first week of Andrew Ng's course https://www.coursera.org/learn/neural-networks-deep-learning/ and really enjoyed it, so maybe I'll keep going with that.

I've also won another referral contest and done some other random stuff. That sums it up, but there's more about me with links below if you're curious.

Here's my startup which tries to get real value from ideas:
This year I won first place in another startup referral contest from https://www.nvstr.com/ - you can read about the win here:

I'm writing a book on the U.S. Constitution ... you can get some of an early potential preview here:

I ran for the Republican nomination of a Pennsylvania seat of the U.S. House of Representaves in 2012. I lost. I got a reference in Bloomberg Businesweek, because of my Ron Paul platform:

I'm a big Ron Paul fan... if you don't know much about him you could read articles and watch videos online, or read his very interesting book (he's got other books, too):

I think that covers a lot of the interesting stuff, and maybe some boring stuff, too. Thanks!
