About me
Starting at a young age, I've been passionate about continuously improving myself and committed to overcoming the challenges I encounter. That perseverance, combined with a creative mindset, aided in achieving many of my goals early in life. For example, becoming a Dutch Lego building champion, started my first company at the age of twelve, played professional sports in the Dutch national youth handball team.
Recognizing the benefits of remote work, I started adopting this lifestyle early on and learned to mentor, coach, and empower remote teams. Inspired by the minimalist lifestyle, I pushed my comfort zones and travelled the world for several years with two 7 kg carry-on backpacks for our whole family.
Besides technology, I am also passionate about people (happiness and performance), coaching, sports, health, photography, design, minimalism, travelling, and exploring the outdoors.
