I was born on November the 17th 1975. I’m inspired by explorers going to places few or no men have ever set foot. Sea men, pilots, astronauts, divers and of course the crew of Star Trek.
Explorers need the experience, technology, knowledge, wisdom and sometimes luck to come back from an adventure to inspire others. This is why I’m passionate about the outdoors and technology. I have been working for more than 13 years in software development and currently employ a software engineering position at the world’s best known satellite car navigation manufacturer in The Netherlands. Next to that I like hiking, climbing mountains, playing the piano, (one day flying) airplanes and last but not least, diving.
