CURRENT MISSION

To spread the word of the historic and mysterious Nazca Lines with our unique & creative shirts, while at the same time helping to provide education to Peruvian children in need!

ABOUT ME

Being with friends and meeting new friends makes me the happiest. My main hobbies are playing, recording and performing music (guitar, vocals, piano, percussion). I'm very passionate, ambitious and self-assured with my ability to play music and make people laugh. That is why I'm here!

A year ago a couple of friends and I started a unique clothing line, Nazca Line Apparel (www.nazca-line.com), where we take a creative spin off the historic and mysterious Nazca Lines of Peru. Ever heard of them? They are these massive, 2000 year old sand drawings that you can only see from the sky. No one knows why they are made. All's I know is that they are UNBELIEVABLE. The shirts are high quality (super soft) and 5% of each sale goes towards providing education for Peruvian children in need.

We have decided to go on this epic road trip to spread the word of our line and meet amazing people along the way. We are incredibly excited!

PHILOSOPHY

We're a scaled down version of the universe. What happens to us is a product of how we believe. Have good, positive energy and good things will happen. Love yourself and express yourself. Laughing is the absolute remedy.

The only disability in life is a bad attitude.

Being an artist is all about how well you can perceive an idea.
