Someone much smarter than me (though not necessarily as good-looking)
once told me that the world will tell you who you are, until you tell
the world. That being said, I am Mr. Martinez, a devilishly charming
Social Studies teacher whose voice is known to make a wolverine purr and
who wears suits so fine that they make Brad Pitt look like a bum. I was
TIME Magazine’s man of the year in 2006 and am working on my 12th Nobel
Peace Prize (no big deal, though).As for teaching, when I was a kid I either wanted to grow up to be a bubble or a teacher. The bubble scenario didn’t work out (go figure) but teaching did and I couldn’t imagine a better job. I graduated with a degree in Social Science Education with endorsements in ESL and Leadership from the University of Northern Colorado in the Spring of 2007 (we refer to it as the “Harvard of the West”). In the Spring of 2010 I received my Masters Degree from Grand Canyon University. I Don’t know if a PhD is in the future, but we’ll see...
Just so you know that I’m actually a real person I will share that I love Chipotle burritos and my all-time favorite movie is Love Actually. I think style is always important, but never more than substance and comfort. Outside of school I like spending time with important people in my life, traveling, and doing nerdy things. Recent favorite reads include Super Freakonomics and The Dark Knight Returns. Oh, and in case you were wondering, actually…I am Ironman.
