A highlight during these years at VABO, was being heavily involved in a super cool project of developing ‘Solar Trees’, something very different from all other projects — and highly innovative! Another standout project, a superyacht canopy and mast, was completed 100% (build, topcoat, systems cabling) before fitting: due to the size of the yacht and position on board, it would have been impossible to re-fit or re-position the elements. The installation was carried out in presence of the owner and (happily!) the fit was perfect: a stressful, but very proud moment! I could also mention the building of extreme-size jacuzzies, with all the technical challenges to ensure a hassle-free fit in the end.
I am married, proud father of a son and daughter, a dog owner and a house owner. Only the Volvo family car is missing in this perfect picture!
With the non-stop action at VABO and the latter commitments, hobbies are somehow reduced to a minimum. I like sport and exercise whenever possible, like running and in the past, I was a fervent windsurfer. What people maybe don’t know, is that I had my own company, in Katwijk aan Zee… For 18 years, Wave Warrior supplied championship winning custom windsurf boards to competitors and clients around the world.
