Guest Bio

Born 1975 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Married to Maria Rosario

Daughter: Ana Catalina

I'm currently based out of Apex, NC. I've been here for the last 6 years of my life. Being in North Carolina, having stability, an amazing daughter and wife has given me the opportunity and motivation to give life to this special project.

Sometimes life gets very complicated, day to day responsibilities, work, family, life expectations to fulfill. This is a reality we all face but it's part of the process. These things could make our plans and dreams a little harder to achieve but are also the things that will help you get where you want, the things that fuel you to come up with the best of yourself.

It was time, it was time to THINK ABOV, TO BE ABOV.

What is ABOV HEADWEAR?

Custom Hats  for those looking to make a statement in life, looking to differentiate themselves from the rest.

ABOV is an attitude, a mentality, to go above and beyond any challenges that life throws at you. #TheAbovMentality
