I love being able to help an organisation deliver a valuable product to their customers, and to help management create the right environment to enable people and teams to deliver that value.

I just love to read; business books, novels & some fantasy.

It allows me to gain knowledge, learn about different perspectives and it triggers me to change myself & help my environment. 

Whether a project plan or a book, I love reviewing stuff. I'm a fast reader with divers interests and love reading other people's work and have a conversation with them.

I started filming in 2017 when we did a live report of the Legends Trails ultra running events. This hobby grew a little out of hand when Joost Mulders and I decided to create the full feature documentary When Heroes Become Legends which can now be viewed online for free. Besides the narration, a bit of the footage and the map vizualisations all the work is created by the two of us.

Ever since my first "round-trip" through Southern Africa (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia) I've returned to Africa for several years and visited Marocco, Tunesia, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Mozambique.

During 2008 I have even worked as a consultant in the last 3 countries.

A great way to capture what you see and experience.

Combining traveling and photography is the best, and I know no better team to do this with than Marsel & Daniella from Squiver. You can see some of my work on Flickr.
