What started in high school with writing short stories has grown after the Academie for Journalism into twenty year of writing with great pleasure. In the past I worked for ProMotor – a motorcycle magazine – where testing motorbikes and motorcycle gear was the business. Really, doing 300 km/h on the German Autobahn or doing laps on the Italian racetrack Imola on a Ducati is hard to beat.

After this the speed has gone down. I worked for two years for a watersportsmagazine and from 2004 to 2016 for Op Pad, the Dutch Outdoor Magazine. I always worked as testeditor. It might sound arrogant, but I am great with finding or creating original pictures to back up a story.  Or make a dull product look great.

Since 2016 I work as a indepent outdoor & bike specialist. The last few years my intrest has shifted from words and stills to video. I do video-reviews on gear and bikes and  I love to explain in simpel words how things work.

The last two years I am also one of the two hosts of the SBS6 cycling television show GoCycling. I am looking for expansion in this direction and would like to spend more time with video, partly in front of the camera but also as a creative centipede behind the scenes.

But it is not all media with me. I like building kitchens for friends. The restorations of cars and scooters. Interior woodwork. Making knives. I love to cook a perfect Pasta Vongole.

If you have a good idea that needs input or execution or just want to try my Pasta Vongole? Contact me!
