Name/Title
Felipe Martinez - Mi Ciudad - Laguna Honda HospitalDescription
My name is Felipe Martinez. I am Mexican, from a small town called Tepatitlan, in Jalisco Mexico. I went to elementary school, middle school, and business school over there. In my teenage years, I used to work selling tacos in the soccer fields. I also used to work as a mechanic’s helper. In 1977, my father bought an ice-cream factory. We made ice-cream, sandwiches, whatever products we sold there. After I finished business school, I started work at Coca-Cola in the accounting department.
In 1998, I became American resident. I lived in L.A., working in various facilities. In 2003, I moved to San Francisco and in 2006, I moved to Laguna Honda Hospital. I have enjoyed drawing and painting in the Art With Elders classes here at Laguna Honda for four years.
