I am a single, 54 year young man, living in Eindhoven (NL) together with my cat Spike. Professionally I am a startup consultant at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the field of Energy & Built Environment to make the energy transition happen by helping emerging technologies go to market. Besides I am an entrepreneur in the creative industry, i.e. industrial designer, innovation consultant, online entrepreneur.

My biggest passion is road cycling and I am the owner of three of which two classic steel road bikes (Eroica).
The love for bike packing is growing exploring new scenic routes, outlooks, hangouts and local pastries.

Having a passion for cycling is quite convenient for me, as I am a foodie as well. Besides, my friends consider me as a great cook, who I frequently invite to my kitchen to enjoy my latest vegetarian/pescatarian creations (see photos).

Although I can't read notes, I love to play my duotonic harmonica finding new melodies.
