Meet Javier "Beto"
Martinez
"I have been able to educate myself and grow through the opportunities DPR has given me. I started my career as a laborer, moved to assistant, to journeyman, and now to foreman...Your work will speak for itself. There’s a saying that the sky is the limit, and it truly is. You determine your own path."
