I'm a happy family man. Twogether with my wife Jessica I have a son Jeppe (18 years), and two daughters: Joëlle (15) and Jitte (12).
We live in a small village Wagenberg, just above Breda.
We love sports. We ourselves are enthousiastic rowers. I like to drive my ATB.
I like the adventure.

I have my own company, specialized in restoration of clocks and barometers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking to and sitting on the edge of the 600 meter high Preikestolen, near Stavanger in Norway last year together with my daughter Joëlle. After that we have slept there above in our tent. Great !!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I offer you a tour in my workshop and show you how the restoration works. Here in the neighborhood we have a typical Dutch windmill you can visit and climb in to see how it works.
Two additional plates on the table is never a problem.
Sitting outside, drink a glass and enjoy a good fire.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, if you have a problem with your old clock, that's my thing.
Rowing is our sport.
I can show and tell you about Holland.
