Martin Jasek was born in the Czech Republic in 1963. In 1970, his family immigrated to Canada and settled in Edmonton, Alberta. He attended the University of Alberta where he obtained his Bachelors degree in Civil Engineering in 1986 and his Masters degree in Water Resources Engineering in 1992.

In 1993, he moved up to Whitehorse, Yukon to work for Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, Water Resources Division. In 1997, he started to investigate UFO cases in the Yukon. In 2000, he helped organize the first Yukon UFO Conference. The event was sponsored by the Yukon Government Millennium Program. Shortly after the conference, several members approached him and said that they would like to be involved in some way.

Martin was elected president of the UFO Yukon Research Society in the organization's debut year. Since then, he has moved to Vancouver, but continues to be very involved in the organization, as well as UFO-BC.
