Personal life
[edit]Martin was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from where his family relocated to New York. His original nickname was in Spanish, "Che", which eventually became "Chuck" because the English speakers couldn't pronounce it properly. Likewise his actual last name, Martín, has an accent but its pronunciation became anglicized to "Martin". When presenting himself, he does so as José Luis Martín and identifies as Puerto Rican.[1]
Martin is a 1993 graduate of Monmouth University with a bachelor's degree in communications. He and his wife, Lee, have three children.[6] Martin retains links with the island to this day, taking his son to a tryout for the juvenile Puerto Rico national team in 2019. He has expressed his interest in joining the program, which he cites as a source of great pride.[1]
