Top 5 Strengths
Gallup's Clifton StrengthsFinder Assessment®

The first rule of being Pedro is…

Do different things and don’t be labeled. Pedro’s hobbies share the same attitude he puts into his work: fierceness. In addition to having played guitar in the rock band evilklown for 10 years (no judging on the naming, ok?), this active dude likes to surf and hike.

“Success consists of being successful, not in having potential for success. Any wide piece of ground is the potential site of a palace, but there's no palace till it's built.”
