From basketball courts to building startups.

With a bachelor's degree in health, I started my career helping people improve their lifestyle and well-being. Basketball has always been a big part of my life. I played professionally at the highest level in the Netherlands at ZZ Leiden, which taught me discipline, teamwork, and the value of continuous improvement.

But early in my career, I discovered a passion for technology and programming. I learned to code, worked as a software engineer for well-known companies and startups, and eventually began building my own products. Some gained traction, a few were even acquired, and each one taught me something valuable.

Now everything has come full circle with Lean Clinic, my latest startup that combines my health background with my experience in technology. It's a digital clinic focused on medical weight loss and lasting lifestyle change, with a clear mission: to fight obesity and improve the health of people in the Netherlands.

More than anything, I love being a father to my three kids. Whether it's coaching my daughter's basketball team or playing video games with my son, these moments matter most. In my imaginary spare time, I'd be reading business books and listening to podcasts.

I occasionally write about what I'm learning and building. You can find my blog posts and project updates here. Feel free to subscribe if you want to stay in the loop when I launch something new, which tends to happen more often than my writing does.
