Holly Peno was born in the hot dusty town of Laredo, Texas about a mile from the border. At the young age of five, her family decided to move to San Antonio. So, Holly Peno packed up her dolls, jalapeno plants and her collection of switchblades and moved North.

San Antonio was the beginning of a rough and tumble life for Holly Peno who quickly learned how to defend herself and how much fun it was to beat up the guys in her neighborhood. Her reputation for looking shy and sweet hid a mean and violent streak and her use of brass knuckles on a whiney mama’s boy caused a move to Austin.

Her quest for thrills and excitement found her competing in contests to show off her switchblade fighting skills and earned her a reputation for being fast, tough and sneaky. One night after a close contest, Holly Peno needed a place to relax and have a few shots so she headed for a place called the Calientano Bar. While downing a few drinks and snacking on sliced jalapenos, she met a couple of Puta’s who invited her to try out for a tough sport happening in Austin, all-girl roller derby on a banked track. The rest is history and Holly Peno now lives her life of excitement on wheels of fire!
