RODRIGUEZ FAMILY ADOPTION
ABOUT SANTI
Santi was born and raised in Guadalajara, Spain, but has now been living in Utah for almost seventeen years. He is the youngest of four and has two brothers and one sister. His family has always been close and he loves when they visit him in Utah, or he and Laurel get to visit Spain.
SANTI LOVES MOTORCYCLES
A couple of summers ago, he really enjoyed a trip to Southern Utah with Laurel. One of his favorite memories of riding a motorcycle was when he was a teenager in Spain. His sister is a police officer and she and Santi rode as passengers in a police motorcycle caravan from Madrid, Spain to Paris, France. Santi's dad also had a motorcycle and Santi remembers fondly going on rides with his dad. He looks forward to the opportunity to take his own kids for rides when they are old enough.
SANTI IS AN ANIMAL LOVER
For Santi, animals have always been a part of the family. He grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and turtles. He and Laurel have a 10-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix (Maggie) who is spoiled rotten.
SANTI LOVES FANTASY BOOKS, GAMES, AND MOVIES
His older brother Juan introduced him to the fantasy world when Santi was a kid, and he has enjoyed it ever since. He especially likes planning adventures for groups of friends to play. For a work Halloween party, Laurel made matching Viking costumes and Santi was excited to win the best costume award.
