In 1976 I completed the study 'construction engineering' at the Arnhem-Nijmegen University of Professional Education.
From 1977 until 1982 I worked as draughtsman for several architects' offices in Arnhem and Velp.

Since 1982 I have been Project Manager working for the University of Wageningen and several other companies. I have managed building projects and projects in the field of ICT.
My hobbies are making user-friendly websites and hiking.
