J.R. MARTINEZ: Bestselling Author, Motivational Speaker, Advocate, Wounded U.S. Army Veteran and Actor

J.R. MARTINEZ travels the world spreading his message of resilience and optimism. While deployed to Iraq, J.R. hit a roadside bomb while driving and became trapped in his burning vehicle. He suffered smoke inhalation, severe burns, and had to undergo 34 different surgeries, including skin grafts and cosmetic surgery, in the years following his injury. During his recovery, after a brief visit with another burn patient, J.R. realized that he'd made a positive impact on this individual and decided to use his own experiences to help others. He continued to visit patients every day, sharing his story and listening to theirs. He learned that inspiration is often a two-way street. 

Martinez shared his remarkable life story in his New York Times bestselling book, Full of Heart, which details how he was able to take his personal tragedy and turn it into an inspiration for others, a message he also brings to worldwide organizations.
