About
I am the father of Aurelie and Leonore, husband to Tamara, IT guy, avid Vibram FiveFingers user, and do some swimming, biking, and running in my free time, born in '77 and living in Amersfoort (9F47594P+3VW). Besides sports, I still like to program and tinker with hardware.
I was a member of the Nairana rovers of Scouting Cay-Noya in Amersfoort, after I reached the maximum age I joined the Boomstam der Nairana Stam.
On weekends I can be found in cafe Lobbes for a coffee and chat with friends.
My name is not a very common one and quite hard to pronounce for non-Dutch people hence I picked up new names in some languages. I picked the name not by sound but by meaning.
For things, I find interesting you can check https://blog.zeger.nl.
I like to read le Petit Prince, Elsschot, Herman Melville, E. E. Cummings, Gyo Fujikawa, and Edgar Allen Poe.
Depending on the goal I prefer to listen to Mitsuko Uchida or, more sports-related: CCR and electro swing.
For even more information or how to contact me you could check some of the links below.

Sports
Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don't stop when you're tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.
