Hey There. My Name is Javier Santana. Sorry, No Relation to “Carlos”.
I am a 50-year young father of 3 beautiful daughters. Meghan, aka Chicka Artistica (23), Bella (18) and Grace (11).
I am a happily married husband. My bride’s name is Lisa and we’ve been married 25 years.
I was born in Puerto Rico and grew up in the Northern Virginia/DC Area.
I love sports in general, but baseball and football are my favorite with baseball being first. I am a HUGE fan of the Washington Nationals and Washington Redskins…ummm, I mean the “Washington Team”…don’t judge, especially if you are a Braves, Phillies, Mets, Cowboys, Eagles or NY Giants.
I love the creative process! It is something that I treasure, love to participate in. I also have cool nerdy tendencies, being a HUGE Star Wars, Harry Potter and Disney fan!
I don’t like political correctness! I don’t like the status quo!
I like to call out the “elephant in the room”, bring things to the light and hash things out!
For those of you who like Harry Potter, I am a Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw’s are original, of ready mind, intelligent, have wit, wisdom and are creative. They express their creativity through imagination and abstract thought. I think that the Sorting Hat kinda nailed it on that one.
