About Me

Retired U.S. Air Force officer, digital entrepreneur and founder of Servant Publishing, where I build AI tools and publish websites.

Welcome to my personal site.

I’m Todd Temaat. A retired U.S. Air Force officer and digital entrepreneur based in Edmond, Oklahoma. I founded Junk Platoon in 2020, Servant Publishing in 2017, and Zippy Shell Fox Valley in 2013 after serving in the Air Force from 1990-2011. More about all of that below.

It’s quite possible you might know me as Martin Temaat or Martin T. Temaat. That’s because my mom and dad blessed me with a family name…Martin. It was my mom’s maiden name. She had one brother and he had all girls. I was the youngest cousin, so to make sure the surname didn’t die out, I was named Martin Todd. It always seemed crazy to me that they decided to make it my first name rather than my middle name, but what could I do? When it came time to name my oldest son, however, we put Martin in the middle so he didn’t have to go by his middle name like I always have.

A major chunk of my adult life has been spent in the Air Force. I served as an enlisted Airman for 11 years as an aircraft mechanic, and a flight engineer (C-5 and E3). Then I completed my undergraduate degree and was selected to attend Officer Training School. After being commissioned, I became what was known as a communications (later cyberspace operations) officer.

Since leaving the Air Force, I have owned and operated several businesses including Zippy Shell Fox Valley in Illinois from 2013-2015, Junk Platoon junk removal in Oklahoma City from 2020-2024. A few local news outlets wrote articles about me as the owner and founder of Junk Platoon. I exited the company in November 2024.

I live in Edmond, OK with my wife of over 35 years. Our four adult children and two grandchildren live nearby as well. We attend and serve the congregation at Life Church. I am a digital entrepreneur and founder of Servant Publishing, where I publish websites, perform industry research, and build tools and services that leverage AI.
