Introduction
Always Exploring new areas of knowledge, ideas, posibillities, and solutions
Early life and education
I am a Dutch and later German Waldorf school graduate, but also went to middle school in Nairobi for a short time, studied buidling engineering and paint chemistry/techniques.
Career trajectory
Unexpectedly, at 22 I became the captain of a large two mast motor sailor and sailed around the world on this and a few other large yaghts for several years. This experience openened doors and also shaped my self confidence. During these years at sea I met director Brian DePalma who was making Casualties of War in Phuket in 1987/88 He hired me and my crew to be extra's in his film and suggested that whenever I had enough of sailing I check out life in Hollywood and give acting a shot. A few years later I did actually move to Hollywood and immediately found work as a stuntman, body double, actor in films.
Legacy and future
During my time in Hollywood I gained some insights into the world of health and supplementation.Conversations with doctors, and also Arnold Schwarzenegger pointed me into a direction that lead to many little discoveries that, with the help of organic chemist Dr. Arne van der Gen, PhD, laid the foundation of the development of my own product called Amino Alliance. This is a blend of amino acids that convert into Nitric Oxide (NO) that in turn relax the endothelial cells found in the muscle tissue of the valscular system. Amino Alliance has restoritive effect and is its positive impact on health is the driving force of the success we enjoy.
