About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding out how to make the most of the rest of my life.

ABOUT ME

People describe me as a romantic scatterbrain, a dreamer, impulsive, restless, inquisitive, talkative, impatient, curious, enthusiastic, open-minded, enterprising, outspoken, but otherwise I seem to be OK...

I earn my living by developing Internet concepts and applications in the context of cultural heritage databases (mainly theatre). I also try to show people and organizations what they can do with Internet in combination with other media. I live in Amsterdam and love theater, film and basically everything that people can create and think of.

I was born way back in the previous century. I am not interested in drugs, thrills and excitement. I like to enjoy the little things in life instead. Please keep that in mind when you apply for my couch.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a precious gift and I am trying to make the most of it.
