CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

My profession is being a sound engineer in the opera house of Ghent. I like beautifull historical buildings, and my passion is music, so I like my job very much! When I'm not working, I like to listen to music, to speak with friends (when I start speaking, it's hard to stop me. but I can be quiet too :-)).
I like almost every style of music: old classical music, romantic classical music, modern, jazz, rock, electronica, metal,... I play French horn and I play in a little band with a guitar and a violin.
Since 2011 I 'm happily together with my girlfriend Hélène Haug:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Together with my girlfriend Hélène we organised a self-guided trekking in Kyrgyzstan. We did a trail that was totally off-the-beaten-track without any tourist, and thanks of a map-reading failure we found some Bronze-age Petroglyphs on a beautiful site far from everything.

Teach, Learn, Share

I always want to learn more into world-cooking.
I can tell you a lot about music, but there is still a lot that I want to know.
I am interested in cultural differences.

Hélène and me are telling our trekking adventures around the world in our online blog:
