Martin in 3 minutes:

I was born in Jakarta and grew up in a loving family with 2 younger siblings. My parents sent me to the US at the age of 16 to join an exchange student program. I then continued my education at the University of Alabama, where I majored in Civil Engineering. Upon graduation in 1998, I ventured myself to look for a job in beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. Currently I work as a Structural and Offshore Engineer in Berkeley, California. My past employment was working on the construction of AirTrain at the San Francisco International Airport.

During my college years, I had the opportunity to be a student of other Universities such as UC Berkeley and UW Seattle, and worked as a professor’s assistant, a waiter in a Japanese restaurant, a pressure-cleaner to clean parking lots, a flower-deliverer during valentine’s day, volunteer in teaching English to high school students in Germany, and of course, a photographer. I enjoyed learning and doing anything interesting and meeting friends from different background and cultures. I enjoyed traveling as well: from exploring the alleys of Hong Kong, hiking in the Death Valley, getting lost in Berlin and Tokyo, camping in Italy, to hiking in the Swiss Alps and Germany's Black Forest. To sum up, I consider myself enthusiastic, easygoing, adventurous about life (except for food), generous, and action-oriented.

I received Jesus as my savior during my senior year of college, which have been one of the best decisions that I made in my life. I am thankful for what I have experienced in life, both successes and failures, and I am excited about the future. There are still many things that I want to achieve in life such as to have a loving family and be a blessing to the surroundings. And like many people, I also have dreams. As an engineer, after completing my further study in Engineering and Project Management, I plan to initiate a global construction management company that will administer massive construction projects. And as a photographer, I plan to have own photo galleries worldwide.
