The Louisiana-born Army Iraq war veteran, and multifaceted talent has defied expectations at every turn, leaving an indelible mark on the worlds of entertainment, literature, and motivational speaking.

Evacuated to Germany and then San Antonio, he spent 34 months undergoing 33 surgeries, including skin grafts and cosmetic procedures. This harrowing ordeal, however, proved to be a crucible, forging his inner strength and igniting a new purpose. Besides captivating audiences as a top motivational speaker, J.R. is also an actor, having landed a 3-year role in the TV Show, \u201cAll My Children\u201d, and, won the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy on the hit TV Show: \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d alongside Karina Smirnoff.&amp;nbsp; He is also a philanthropist and New York Times Best-Selling Author of: Full of heart: \u201cMy Story of Survival Strength and Spirit.\u201d *** Connect with J.R. and Join His Network: J.R.\u2019s Website https:\/\/jrmartinez.com To Subscribe to J.R.\u2019s Newsletter  https:\/\/jrmartinez.us2.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=2954b988c203fef7a9038d8e0&amp;amp;id=16498611e9 Instagram:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iamjrmartinez\/ LinkedIn:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/iamjrmartinez\/ Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/iamjrmartinez\/ YouTube:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@iamjrmartinez *** Connect with Michael: FREE &quot;7.5 Steps to Achieving Extraordinary Goals&quot; eBook:&amp;nbsp;http:\/\/michaelaltshuler.com\/download-e-book\/ Facebook:&amp;nbsp;http:\/\/facebook.com\/MichaelAltshulerBiz X (Twitter):&amp;nbsp;http:\/\/twitter.com\/maltshulerbiz Please SUBSCRIBE and leave a review!
