My name is Eli Santiago, and I am a proud father, veteran, and Texan. Having worked in an array of different industries and with many organizations, I have gained the skills necessary to form authentic relationships with those I work with. These skills, combined with this career, have not only enabled me to have a meaningful impact on the lives of my clients, but have also brought a sense of self-fulfillment as I share my experiences and insight as a former first responder with the Austin Fire Department.
