Santi Rodriguez is a seminarian at the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, TX.

He has worked as spiritual director, retreat director, and a chaplain in an ICU unit. Currently, he is completing a master's in divinity, as he prepares for ordination next summer. A native of Colombia, Rodriguez called Canada home for 14 years before moving to the United States to be with his now wife. He is a husband and father. Santi is a midpacker runner. He started running five years ago. Since then, he has focused mostly on improving his time in longer races. He has learned to love the process more than the results. He has run a dozen half-marathons and four marathons. He is currently training for his first ultra: a virtual 50k in October, 2020.
