I was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I grew up in the Southern California area in and around the beaches, deserts and mountains. I am a design engineer and I have worked in almost every area of manufacturing, including aerospace, transportation and recreational products. In the past many people have thought of me as a rocket scientist.I have a lot of interests mostly what people would consider nerdy or intellectual it's kind of boring to most people so I won't elaborate...Currently I design skateboards for the largest manufacturer of skateboards in the world. If you see a pro skateboard somewhere chances are I had something to do with it.My hobbies are motorcycle racing, motorsports photography and big game ocean fishing.I have lived my life on the edge for most of my years, but now I live a somewhat sedate lifestyle.I'm still impetuous and adventurous though and I am still known to take an occasional dip on the wildside of life. I also do a lot of world traveling and no place is to far or to dangerous for me.So if you've got a wild proposition please let me know...
