| Info | Lorenzo Gaztañaga was born in Havana, Cuba in 1949 and received his early education in Christian Brothers schools. He came to the United States with his family on October 21, 1961, locating in Baltimore in June 1963. In 1973, he became a United States citizen. He attended parochial school in Baltimore City, finishing high school in the third graduating class of Cardinal Gibbons School. After high school, he attended Loyola College and Towson State University, majoring in history and political science, returning to college again in the 1980's to study psychology at the University of Baltimore.
He has held jobs ranging from language teacher (during five years in Haiti), car salesman, and director of development for his old high school. He is currently working in the security business to support his activities as a citizen politician. He is fluent in English, Spanish and French, and conversant in Haitian Creole. A Maryland Libertarian Party officer, he worked with the Coalition for a Democratic Maryland and Marylanders for Democracy to ease the stringent ballot access requirements that have effectively kept independent and third party candidates off the ballot for the last 25 years. He is a founding member of the Human Values Network and former member of the Board of Directors of the Environmental Crisis Center, which provides food and shelter to the homeless of Baltimore City. He is active in the Cliftmont Community Wesleyan Church, where he has mentored young people of the Belair-Edison community.
Gaztañaga shares his life with his wife of 33 years, New York City native Susan Jacobson Gaztañaga, and his black, 20-pound cat, Lord Baltimore.
