About StormLine Supply

Built by the field. Trusted by the trade.

The Foundation

StormLine Supply was built from the ground up — literally.

Our founder, Michael Martinez, is a Construction Specialist and FTTH Expert with deep roots in OSP (Outside Plant) Telecom Infrastructure. His career spans the full spectrum of fiber and coax construction — aerial and underground — across some of the most demanding job sites in the eastern sector of the country.

Michael's expertise includes:

• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) network design and deployment
• Aerial and underground fiber and coax construction
• Full-system engineering and OSP project management
• Permitting, right-of-way acquisition, and land surveying
• Telecom infrastructure planning from design to final acceptance
• Class C Power Lineman Certification — NC Department of Labor

This isn't a background built in a boardroom. It's built in the field — in the trenches, on the poles, and in the conduit. That experience is the backbone of every product we carry and every decision we make.

Field-Proven Authority

We don't just sell gear. We've used it.

StormLine Supply exists because Michael saw a gap that only someone who has done the work could see. Too many supply sources are run by people who've never held a fusion splicer, never pulled fiber through conduit in January, and never had to make a critical call on a job site at 2 AM.

We're different.

Through years of active work alongside North and South Eastern telecom and power contractors, Michael built the kind of professional relationships that only come from showing up, doing the job right, and earning trust one project at a time. Those relationships inform what we stock, what we recommend, and how we support our customers.

That service-first, safety-first mindset is embedded in everything StormLine does.

The Storm-Ready Promise

When the storm hits, there's no time to wait on shipping.

StormLine Supply is your one-stop hub for the tools, PPE, and equipment that perform when conditions are at their worst. We curate gear specifically for the realities of Storm Restoration work — restoring power, fiber, and connectivity when communities need it most.

Every product in our catalog is evaluated against a simple standard: Will this hold up when it matters?

• Gear rated for extreme weather and field conditions
• PPE that meets or exceeds OSHA and ANSI safety standards
• Fiber splicing tools and consumables for rapid deployment
• Telecom infrastructure supplies built for speed and reliability

Whether you're a contractor mobilizing a storm crew or a lineworker gearing up solo, StormLine has what you need — ready to ship, ready to perform.

Future Vision & Education

The trade is only as strong as the next generation coming up.

StormLine Supply is more than a store. We're building a platform for the utility workforce — and that means investing in the people who keep the lights on and the fiber running.

We are actively developing training initiatives for the telecom and utility community:

• 🔧 Lineman Training — Entry-level pathways for new Power and Fiber lineworkers ready to break into the trade
• 🔌 Fiber Splicing Courses — Hands-on instruction covering fusion splicing fundamentals, cable prep, and OTDR testing
• 🚦 Traffic Control Advancement Pathways — Specialized training for flaggers and traffic controllers looking to expand their certifications and move up in the field

These programs are being built by people who came up through the trade - because the best training comes from those who've been there.

Details and enrollment information coming soon. Follow us and stay connected.
