Personal

People call me Santi....I love meeting new people, hanging out with friends, traveling and exploring different places in the world, and of course, winning!...I have one mini Schnauzer named Chiky....Relaxing to me is hanging out with friends, getting deep tissue massages, cupping massages, and going to the beach....I get my inspiration from top karate fighters...."It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years"
