Delta Sigma Phi proudly celebrates Brother Marc Martinelli (Alabama – Birmingham ’91) for his remarkable accomplishment of being named to the UAB Excellence in Business Top 25 for the second consecutive year. This prestigious honor, awarded by the University of Alabama at Birmingham, recognizes UAB alumni who demonstrate outstanding leadership, innovation, and impact in their industries.
Marc, founder and leader of Disaster Dr, has made a profound impact through his Atlanta-based storm restoration company, which serves communities across the Southeast with storm debris cleanup, tree removal, roof replacement, and water damage restoration services. This year alone, Disaster Dr responded to storms across Houston, Dallas, New York, New Jersey, and Florida—making a difference in times of crisis and helping those in need.
Reflecting on his achievement, Marc shared, “My college days were some of the best, and the relationships I formed as a Delta Sig made me the person I am today, always striving to succeed. I hope to inspire other brothers to achieve success.”
This year’s UAB Excellence in Business award ceremony was especially meaningful, as Marc was joined by three fellow Zeta Chi Chapter brothers from the Class of ’91: Darrell Clanton, Chris Edmonds, and Mike McCombs.
The criteria for this honor are rigorous, recognizing only alumni who have achieved exceptional business success, hold senior leadership roles, and meet high standards of operational and financial achievement. Delta Sigma Phi is proud to honor Marc’s success, a testament to the resilience, leadership, and friendship fostered in our Brotherhood.
Please join us in congratulating Marc on this outstanding recognition and celebrating his commitment to the values of Delta Sigma Phi.
