Workaholic with a passion for diving and nice food

Born on the 5th of November 1976, married in 2012 and bacame father in 2006, currently work (and co-own) tible as Director of Operations.

I started diving on a cold but sunny Sunday afternoon in a lake nearby called Bussloo with Bussloo-divers in 2003. Directly after my Open Water I did my Advanced and early 2006 I finished the Rescue course. These days I dive at frequently jump into the water with my budy Wiebe van leeuwen (an old colleague of mine).

Somewhere in 2006 I started to shoot my own pictures with a Sony DSC W12 (MPK-WA) camera/underwaterhouse combination based on a Fish Eye tray and extended with an Inon D-2000 flitser. In early 2007 I added an Inon UCA-165AD Macro lens to this combination for better close ups and in 2009 I replaced the camera for a Sea and Sea DX-1.

These days I enter the water with a Nauticam NA-EM5 housing arround my Olympus OM-D E-M5 body, with M.ZUIKO 12-50 lens and 2 INON D-2000 flitsers.
