A Little About Dr. Martinez
“I enjoy traveling the globe, both for work and play. I am fascinated by meeting new people, exploring new cultures, and savoring authentic cuisine. Sports are a part of my life as well—I attack city softball, dabble in golf, and while I no longer compete in triathlons like I once did, I do enjoy swimming in the Pacific. Always learning, I delight in a good, thought-provoking book. Lastly, my family and faith are most important to me, and I am deeply committed to both.”
