Alexander Martin
Alexander Martin(he/him) is originally from the Green Mountain state where he spent his weekdays on the dirt roads and mountains of Monkton, Vermont and his weekends sailing with his father on Lake Champlain. While always appreciating his time growing up in rural Vermont, he loves living in cities where public transportation and bicycling can be your main source of travel like Austin, Boston, San Francisco, and now Portland where he met his beautiful wife Bianeth Valdez. As a resident of Portland for over 10 years now Alex has worn many different hats, most recently as a Trimet Bus Operator, prior to that he had spent 4 years as a Site Director and Summer Camp counselor at the Portland Non profit Art4life at Chief Joseph, Ockley Green, and Richmond elementary. He now dreams of cities designed around people and not cars (imagine a Burnside with a street car from lower Washington park to Laurelhurst Park.) He is looking forward to a fun filled summer camp exploring Washington Country by bike and teaching the importance of bicycling to a new generation.
