Hey Alamo City, Ivan + Rossi here. Between the two of us, we get the privilege of sharing local news, events, and conversations with readers in San Antonio, daily — here, and on our socials.

After three-ish months of bringing you SATXtoday, we thought we should formally introduce ourselves. Consider this us going in for a fist bump, then switching to a handshake, then settling on a hug.

Meet Rossi 💕
