Some of my many quirks

ENTJ

Eldest of 3; father of 2; married to 1 and cats > dogs

I try to live like Ted Lasso "Be curious, not judgmental." Optimism, curiosity, and openmindedness hit my inner core. I motivate by enthusiasm and drive.

I am a super connector. One of my biggest joy is to connect superheroes so they can save the world.

I love building big stuff! I combine my passion for big ideas with a ruthless work ethic and speed of execution.

The world is my playground. I love the Netherlands but raise my children in English.

Fueled by gym and coffee. I try to live a regimented lifestyle and can be found in the Crossfit box 5-6 days per week

Live on houseboat in Amsterdam

The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman!
