Dutch (1981)
Born in Bolsward, a small city in the Netherlands’ northern watersport region and son of a seafarer—a background that instilled in me a deep connection to the water.
After a yacht design self-education of 4 years I left The Netherlands trying to find a yacht design position in the south of France and Monaco but I ended up starting working in yacht brokerage instead. Now, as a budding yacht broker I now design yachts mainly just for fun, I live aboard a small boat in Port Vauban, Antibes, working toward my goal of becoming a full-time liveaboard yacht owner while helping clients buy or sell their vessels.
Beyond brokerage, I dedicate time to product and art licensing and trading.
All passions that began as hobbies but have since grown into serious endeavors.
My ceative journey started in 1997 as a graffiti artist, which led me to self-educate in yacht design, product design, graphic design, illustration, calligraphy, and painting.
Entrepreneurship has always been part of my story—from selling bumper car coins as a child, owning a clothing brand to trading vintage mechanical watches in recent years, before shifting my focus to yachts. Alongside this, my fascination with financial markets sparked an interest in day trading, which has become a dedicated pursuit.
When time allows, I indulge in my passion for horology, tinkering with watchmaking as both a craft and a personal retreat.
