Antonio Sariñana

My name has two meanings: one who confronts his enemies and someone who stands out from the rest. I was born on January 20th 1984 in Mexico City to a very warm family being the third of four siblings. Since I was little my parents used to take us on roadtrips to San Antonio, Texas where we had the time of our lives. Music was always a companion: Antonio Vivaldi, Gipsy Kings, Depeche Mode, The Cure, The Police, Michael Jackson and many more. In school I always enjoyed being the clown of the class making everybody laugh (teachers included). My grades were good, though I was never the smartest of the room but that is life: you have to surround yourself with intelligent people in order to learn from them. When I was about 4 years old my parents let me meet the first Mexican astronaut: Rodolfo Neri Vela. Probably that is why space has always marveled me. While in University I did an exchange semester in Buenos Aires, Argentina that changed my life because I found the wisdom of Kabbalah, which is a set of practical tools to have a more meaningful spiritual life. I am not intimidated neither by fame, money nor power because we all are equally important.
