Walker began working in Tyler for Charles Clark and Martin started working in Tyler for Jerry Parker. They have been working together since 1998 and started Martin Walker P.C. in 2006.

Martin said it was an honor to be listed by his alma mater.

“To be listed among some of the best and brightest UT alumni is a true honor,” he said. “I cherish my memories and connections from my time at the University of Texas very much. I am grateful for the acknowledgment from my alma mater, while knowing it’s only up from here.”

Walker echoed those sentiments.

“UT will always hold a special place in our hearts,” Walker said. “We are so excited to be a part of this list featuring such great businesses and leaders.”
