Get up around 7, dress and go down to the girls, wake and hug them. We have breakfast with the whole family and at 8, we bring the kids to school and go to work after that. I try to walk and bike as much as possible. It’s good fun, healthy and refreshing! At work, I try to find a good balance between hard work and relaxation. Take time to have lunch and try to have a walk somewhere in the middle. Keeps me sharp, too. 

At the end of the afternoon, I go and pick-up the girls from daycare and start cooking a lovely meal. My wife closes her shop around 6 and joins us soon after. In the evening, I like to do some relaxing activity. It can be a having a glass of wine in town, planning a holiday, do some trailheads or watching Netflix. And play with Pien, our cat! 

Making people happy! To be able to touch them, through working together with them and to serve them with good solutions.

I went to visit my sister in the Creuse, a beautiful area in the middle of France, near Limoges. It was a short trip, but very enjoyable and great fun. I went down there together with an old friend, making the long drive a feast! 

I was born in Apeldoorn and moved to Bathmen when I was two. Bathmen is a very relaxed, small village in the east of The Netherlands. It was great fun as a child, with little traffic and lots of woods to play in.

When I was on Schiermonnikoog for a week in April, I read “Het fantastische verhaal van de kip die de wereld rond zeilde”. A very enjoyable story about a boy from Bretagne, who sails around the world in 5 years, together with chicken Monique. I can very much recommend to read this adventures and funny book!
