Martin Martinez

Martin Martinez (he/him) grew up on the west side of San Antonio, where his family-owned Mexican restaurant instilled a deep commitment to good food, good friendships, and a stronger community. For 19 years, he supported military families and international students at Lackland Air Force Base. Activated by the animal welfare crisis during the pandemic, Martin co-founded Far-Fetched Dog Food Company, a San Antonio-based small business providing fresh, human-grade dog food while reinvesting profits into improved community animal care. His passion for service and dedication to making San Antonio a better place drives Martin’s efforts to uplift the community he proudly calls home.
