About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Developing Food Forests for Farms, Public places from city forests to city parks and new neighbour houds or private peoples properties.

ABOUT ME

Well I think diversity is the word which would characterize me best. Experiencing different tastes of life is what I love to do.

It is not only about one discipline but seeing and making connections between multiple disciplines what matters to me.

So my goal is to bring the discipline of Food Forestry to a higher level. My skills involve, Design, Implementation, Realization, Teaching, Research. My background as an architect comes of great use.

All sounds complex but most of it comes down to sustaining our basic needs in a common sense way. Common sense meaning understanding and respecting the geologic, ecological and social context you design in. Common sense sometimes seems very special in a world many things are done backwardly ; p

PHILOSOPHY

Experience you cannot learn

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To put it a bit philosophical ;p
Keep pushing my limits and deepen within the boundaries.

Close encounters
Almost run over a giraffe, came close to an inch ;)
Almost got eaten by a baboon, came close to an inch ;)

Flew over Nazca lines
Get into flow
Enjoy the simple things and peace of mind

Teach, Learn, Share

What I find important characteristics in friends is solidarity and flexibility without the losing their integrity.
