Name/Title
LHH - Felipe Martinez - My Hometown, TepatitlanDescription
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 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, that way I came here. I used to live in L.A., working in various facilities. In 2003, I moved to San Francisco. In 2006, I had a stroke and became handicapped. I’ve lived here at Laguna Honda for 15 years and I have enjoyed Art With Elders for five years.
