I was born in The Hague in The Netherlands in 1941, so do your math. I lived and worked most of my life  in the Dutch city of Schiedam.

In Rotterdam I graduated as an economist and currently I am a student at the Open Universiteit, a Dutch independent government-funded institute for distance learning at university level.

I try to keep my body in good condition, as well as my mind, by playing tennis and going for a occasional round of golf.

I like having guests over. The house is very well suited for it. Of course I take care of the beds and the bathroom en I will happily fix you a tasty breakfast. In the collective living room you can find a television set and a diversity of beverages and snacks.
