Jack Martin was born in 1953 in Selmer, Tennessee. Growing up on the farm Jack knew from the age of 6 that he wanted to be a farmer. Jack loved every single thing about the outdoors. He would ride with his Grandfather on the tractor all day, just so he could play in the dirt. Jack used to watch his Grandfather making brooms and was amazed at how he would put them together, but he never thought about being a broom maker.

We pride ourselves on our workmanship, quality and the value of the products we offer for sale to you.

We also believe in family and family values. We work and play as a family too! My daughter Lori helps out with the office duties and helps with computer related stuff. My son-in-law Jack helps make brooms and any other things that might crop up and we all play with various local music groups in our spare time, what there is of it! Jack's older brother David runs Matrixx Technologies and designed and maintains the web site. The whole family pitches in and does what they can, when they can to make Hockaday Handmade Brooms a reality, hopefully for a long long time to come...
