My name is André Marques, I'm 28 years old and I have lived almost all my life in Cascais.

I consider myself a funny and a hard working person that enjoys being in the fresh air and to interacting with people!  Graduated in speech therapy in 2013 and after 2 years working in Portugal, I decided to embrace a new challenge. I lived 3 years in Mozambique working as a college teacher until I came back to Portugal in 2018.

Surfing became part of my life in 2004. Raised by the waves in São Pedro do Estoril, this was the beach that also fostered all my learning. I've always been a committed surfer, also connected to a surf club and a competitor as well sometimes.

Love and respect for the ocean and the surf culture are some of the values that I always try to pass to people around me.
