Biography
Santiago Rizzo's initial interest in storytelling began when he was a teenager, using acting as an initial path to grace. After growing up in violence and insecurity, he moved in with his teacher, Tim Moellering, and became an emancipated minor through the court. Succeeding as a Quest Scholar, Rizzo graduated from Stanford University with a major in Economics and a minor in Psychology. Not having the financial cushion to pursue the arts after college, Rizzo pursued Wall Street. In 2013, he shut down his alternative energy hedge fund in order to make Quest, a script he originally wrote with Tim Moellering before he died.
