Martin Robertson

Marty Robertson is the Director of Santa Barbara A Rocha, a Christian conservation organization. This involves educational outreach, practical environmental science, community outreach, and the supervision of the Five Loaves Farm, a 3-acre organic farm committed to growing top quality produce donated free of charge to the hungry poor of Santa Barbara. Throughout the year Marty works with groups of children to do hands-on environmental science, having run numerous summer Creation Care Camps over the past three years and a watershed study during the school year with a local school. Marty’s MA in Education/Counseling led him to Santa Barbara where he worked in student life at Westmont College for seven years. He then went on to earn a California Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential, a Social Sciences Credential, and Bilingual Certificate of Competency. During his 17-year teaching career he was distinguished in 2007 as an Outstanding Educator in Santa Barbara County specializing in ancient cultures and earth sciences, and in 2009 was selected as the tri-county Geology Teacher of the Year by Coast Geological Survey. Marty recently left regular classroom teaching in order to put more energy into A Rocha and currently works part time doing research and design of semi-conductor lasers for medical imaging in order to support the work of caring for creation.
