Salvador was born to his parents Salvador and Celia Bautista, on Friday, April 27, 1984, in Queretaro Mexico. He was one of six children born to his parents. Salvador was eager to learn the world at an early age so he left school to become a construction worker. As a quick learner he worked in various skills; eventually opening his own construction company. He was very handy and loved working with his hands. He did enjoy life outside of employment as a DJ in the area known as “DJ CHAVA”, he had a passion for bbq and cooking for his family and friends. Salvador truly had a spirit of hospitality which drove him to an unconditional love for all.
