  • Xavier D Martinez

    CHAPTER DEPUTY DIRECTOR

    Having a passion for Information Technology and all things “CYBER”, Xavier has pursued continuous education from an early age. Born in Chicago and moving to Puerto Rico during his freshman year of High School he took note of the lack of resources available on the Island. Going from Computer Lab to “El Campo” style education made a lasting impression concerning his future and the welfare of Puerto Rico; ultimately leading to his decision to enlist in the United States Navy.

    While stationed in San Diego, his goal was to be the first of his family to attend college. He enrolled in evening and weekend classes, completing a Bachelor’s of Science in Information Technology and Masters of Science in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance.

    Currently retiring from over 20 years of successful service within the Submarine Force, Xavier strives to continue his path forward while helping bridge opportunities and growth within his community.
