My working life has always been in Education. After completing my national conscription duties as a sergeant (sports instructor) in the Netherlands I set off to England to teach and coach at ACS Cobham International School. I spent 5 years as a P.E. teacher and coached 3 seasons every year. I then started the job of Athletic Director and remained coaching 3 varsity sports.
I joined ASP as Athletic Director in 1999, I have coached 2 or3 varsity and/or JV seasons, I am a member of the guidance committee, finance committee, liaise with Sports Boosters and the ISST treasurer.
I have a real passion for running marathons and have been participating in all sorts of marathons since 1970 in countries all over Europe - London and Poole, England; Berlin, Germany; Amsterdam and Amersfoort, The Netherlands; Paris and Mont St. Michel, France.
