Sal was born the youngest of three brothers to a well off family on the Betazed homeworld.  His father was a minor politician and his mother came from a long line of family in various medical positions.  As the baby of the family, Sal grew up well loved and slightly spoiled.  Charismatic and popular while growing up, Sal has always been a people person.  He used his charisma to get him out of trouble on multiple occasions while growing up, which led to a rather charmed and sheltered life.

*'''Quarters:''' Bright and cheerful, Sal is slowly gathering a variety of decorations, including family pictures and mementos from his various jobs, postings and friends.   

*'''Office:''' Usually well lit, Sal eschews a normal desk to remove the 'barricade' between himself and those he sees.  He has a small curved table at one end and a variety of chairs.  There is a low coffee table to one side and a variety of artwork on the walls.

*'''Favorite Drink:''' Rigellian Orange Cider with long pepper.   

*'''Habits:''' Likes to settle himself with a mug of cider before working with someone.   

*'''Mannerisms:''' Sal tends to be self conscious about his hair, and try to get it to 'lay flat' without much success.  He can be quite blunt, and often speaks his mind freely.

*'''Religion/Spiritual Devotion:''' Sal is spiritual, and believes in the fundamental connectedness of all sentient life forms.  He trained in Betazoid meditation techniques, something he does regularly.

*'''Likes:''' Fizzy drinks, upbeat music, chatting with people one-on-one, mini golf, Coffee on bad mornings.

*'''Dislikes:''' Electrical storms, transporter beams, losing friends either to distance or worse things,  

*'''Achievements in Life:''' Surviving a major trauma that could have easily killed him, recovering and becoming a Starfleet officer, several published research papers into artificial intelligence and computer systems,  

*'''Disappointments in Life:''' Sal wishes he would have been more careful, and that he settled down earlier to start a family.

*'''Mental problems (complexes and phobias)''': Sal heavily dislikes transporter beams and energy fields.  He has a tendency to talk to computers when he is tired.  Though he has not shown signs of it yet, Sal is susceptible to anxiety and flashbacks when faced with electrical discharges.

*'''Physical Limitations:''' Sal’s damaged telepathy is most likely to ‘go on the fritz’ in the presence of strong energy fields, including transporter beams.  Furthermore, Sal has symptoms of peripheral motor neuropathy after transportation, causing loss of balance and/or co-ordination.  He occasionally has muscle spasms as a result of his accident, and Starfleet medical suggested he have routine examinations to make sure his heart remains unaffected from the shock.

His medical record clearly warns doctors that he has suffered – and survived – a severe electrical shock.  He is required to undergo routine medical examination to make sure that ventricular fibrillation does not re-occur.

•'''Children''': None yet

Attended the Sans'Thorus University for Computer sciences, Graduated with a master's degree in artificial intelligence and advances systems development.  Worked for 3 1/2 years in the civilian sector before deciding to attend Starfleet Academy.
