Martin was born in San Jose, CA. However due to being a military brat he was raised all of the world. When he was 11 his family finally settled down in a small town in North Carolina. In the fall of 1993 he met the love of his life Teresa. From that moment on everything that he's done in his life has been for her and their 3 beautiful children. In 1996 he joined the United States Navy and has now served for nearly 16 years. He has deployed all around the world and has been thousands of miles away from those he loves. However regardless of how far he was away and all the places that he has visited; he always remembered that theres NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
