Martin Rivenbark,
Owner

Hello neighbors! I’m Martin Rivenbark, owner of The Glass Guru of Sarasota since 2015. I grew up in the Tallahassee area, went to Leon High School, and then college at Florida State University where I graduated with a degree in Property Management.
Prior to The Glass Guru, I gained valuable experience in insurance and then construction sales and service for business and residential projects. I started The Glass Guru because I enjoy helping homeowners and business owners solve problems or make improvements. What attracted me to The Glass Guru was my experience trying to buy mirrors for a project and the process was so difficult, I was determined to make it better. I am extremely proud of my staff. What I like most about this business is our ability to solve problems that other companies won’t even quote.
Outside of work, I enjoy boating, camping, or projects around the home. My wife Sara and I have two boys named Dawson and Carter along with two dogs, Shore and Emma. There is a good chance Shore will be at the shop or on a job site with me. On weekends you might find us enjoying family time on the water.
It’s a great honor and privilege to have the opportunity to serve you and we hope to be the local glass shop you can trust and rely on for many years to come.
