Martinez is best known for being on All My Children and Dancing with the Stars, but his true passion lies in telling his story about how he overcame this experience.

He is a spokesperson for Operation Finally Home, which is an organization that builds homes for wounded, ill or injured veterans, as well as their surviving spouses and children.
