My main interests are biology and technology. I always had an interest in biology and nature but until my mid twenties I had no interest in computers and related topics. In my twenties I got interested in computers and started various ICT training programs. After successfully passing various certification exams I became a certified ICT professional. Later in life when I was in my 40's I started combining my interest in nature and computers. On my projects page you can view my projects where I combine ecological topics with technological solutions. Besides ecology and technology I like running and music.

I'm a big athletics fan. I practiced athletics when I was young, mostly running cross country and 800 meter races. I like to follow the large events such as the Diamond League and European and world championships. I also like road races such as major marathons, 5k and 10k events. Athletics isn't as popular as it was when I was young. Maybe that's one of the reasons why a lot of the club and track records that my generation set when they were young still stand today. Hopefully the interest in athletics will grow as it gets more attention in the media. In 2025 I joined a local athletics club and in 2026 I started competing in road races.

Another hobby of mine is music. I play guitar and bass guitar and like to experiment with synthesizers and sounds. I can enjoy listening to music or going to a concert. I like various types of music but most of them include guitars. I also like old school house and 60's and 70's music. I'm also a annual voter and listener of the TOP2000. The TOP2000 is an annual dutch radioshow where listeners can vote for their 35 best songs ever made. Eventually those votes form a list of the best 2000 song ever. That list is than broadcasted between christmas and new year, most of the episodes ending with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody as number 1.
