About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

So I'm Chris from Belgium.
If I need to describe myself, I would say optimist, creative, nature boy, smart, quick, flair.

I'm creative and driven, I manage a few little companies, one is woowoos, a company that runs creative communities and has spinoffs in technology. That is the reason I'm spending time in Silicon Valley

I pratice a lot of sports (surf, snowboard, skydiving, beach bal, triathlon, ...)
i recently have a new goal, i became an iron manager, meaning that I'm one of 100 managers in Belgium that will be personal guided to do an Ironman in 3 years time.

I love to travel.
From weekend city trips to long exotic locations, mixing sport vacations (scuba diving, surfing, skydiving) with artistic creative travels.

I adore to explore the world; people, history, nature, vibes, local foods, music,... more...
