I’m Rey—a UX designer by day, drummer by night, and avocado cultivator in between. I play drums in Whole Hog, a Temecula-based rock band with a loyal local following. While the rock star dream has mellowed, music remains my favorite way to unplug and recharge.

My quiet obsession? Avocados. I’ve grown a grove from seed, each tree a small legacy project. One day, I hope my family will be swimming in guac. Follow their journey at @santiago.avocado.
To stay active, I run with my Border Collie, Daisy. She’s faster than me, but gracious enough to let me think I’m keeping up. She’s got her own fanbase too—check her out at @daisy.inu.
