Being a product of the United States in terms of education and work, Kuczynski ran unsuccessfully in 2011 for the presidency, but later vectored in the 2016 general election in Peru over Keiko Fujimori, daughter of the political patriarch of Fujimorism, Alberto Fujimori.

Greetings fellow Wikipedians! A little bit about my self... I'm a Peruvian-born guy hailing from the city of Arequipa. My parents immigrated to the United States when I was still very young, which left me rather ignorant about my native country in general. I grew up most of my life in Los Angeles, California, taking short vacation trips to South America with my family every now and then. Although I've been online since late 1995, it was while conducting research for an Anthropology class project that I found Wikipedia on 2004, and did my first edit on Feb 12, 2005 to Arequipa. Since then my edits have been to articles concerning the history (since the Spanish conquest) and current state of events of Latin America, with a specific focus on Peru. I've also done some very minor edits to other articles of my interests, such as Politics, Geography, Biographies, Music (of all types), etc.
