Most recently, Martin served as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary for Accuride Corp.

He received his law degree and graduated Cum Laude from Duke University School of Law. In addition, Martin served in the U.S. Air Force for six years and received multiple Military Honors. 

Crawford most recently was the Director of Human Resources for Barnes Group, with responsibility for four global business units. He will be integral in driving the business culture by creating alignment between employees and the vision and strategy of the organization.
