Meet the Knots Team

He was first introduced to Water for Waslala during his undergraduate experience at Villanova University and has been to Nicaragua many times since then. He adamantly believes that Knots Apparel will succeed because it represents a unique combination of his love for design, entrepreneurship and community service. He believes the modern consumer defines themselves by more than just their personal style and is excited to put this theory to the test.

With its combination of inspired designs and philanthropic purpose, PJ is confident that Knots Apparel is destined for success.
