 Meet Santos Vallejo

Santos was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1988 and came from a humble family with strong religious beliefs and family values. 

At the age of three his family moved to San Benito, Texas, where he resides to this day. Throughout his elementary, middle, and high school years he met many challenges. He was labeled with a learning disability and placed in a special education program where he faced many trials and tribulations. 

He almost lost all hope of having a successful life. At the age of eighteen, he decided that in order to ensure his success in life he would enter the fire academy. He did so and completed the program in 2008 at the young age of nineteen. He married the love of his life in 2013, and became a father of three. 

Currently, Santos has more than just a career; he is also a Children’s Director for one of the largest church organizations in Texas. As an author he inspires people of all ages all over the world with his transformational story used to encourage others to work hard and never give up on their dreams.
