Hi, I am an Architect born and raised in Lima Perú. I love water sports and extreme sports like surfing, water skiing, downhill dirt bike etc. I am an adrenaline junkie so if you want to do something I’m up for it.

Also, I like eating a lot, specially barbecue’s, so I’m up for that to.

I like designing and making things better. So if there is something that I am using, specially tools, I will probably find something to add or modify from the tool to make it better.

Pictures are a hobby to. Here is one of a sunset I took last year.
