Crossmedia producer and voice-over
Rotterdam Area, Netherlands
Having worked for several television and radio stations virtually throughout my entire life, and as a managing partner at one of the leading internet companies in the Netherlands for ten years, my background is both in old and new media. These days I combine the two, developing interactive (web) TV formats in association with a network of top notch freelancers.

January 2005 — Present (4 years 11 months)
As a crossmedia producer my focus is on the integration process of radio, television, internet and mobile communications. Producing video footage for several fast movers and companies in the financial sector – to be used as part of a website, application or game for example; often in close corporation with IN10 Communicatie in Rotterdam – and developing more classic (web) TV formats.
Furthermore I work as a freelance voice-over for Hart van Nederland and Shownieuws on SBS6 television and as a dj for Decibel. In 2005 and 2006 I regularly hosted the news for ANP Radio and till December 2008 you could sometimes hear me playing all your favourite rock songs via CITY FM, as a dj.

January 1995 — December 2004 (10 years )
After being closely involved in founding Intermax, I was a partner and member of the board for about ten years. Serving as the COO, but also dedicated towards marketing and public relations, and in the role of ad interim sales manager on several occasions. By mid 2004 I decided to sell my shares and leave the company, to further focus on the development of crossmedia concepts.
These days Intermax still is one of the leading internet companies in the Netherlands, providing fullservice managed hosting services. The concepting and develoment branch was sold mid 2009 and now exists as Redmax.

October 1987 — December 2004 (17 years 3 months)
At the age of eleven I started my media career at the local radio station in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands. First as a reporter, soon as a presenter and dj, and later as an audio designer too, creating the station's identity through all kinds of jingles. In 1995 I was asked to perform as a voice-over on screen for NCRV Television. I did sixty episodes of Schoolstrijd on the public channel Nederland 1; a quiz for high school students hosted by Minoesch Jorissen and Gregor Bak.
During that same period I moved from the local radio station in Vlaardingen, via NRG 106.3 in Delft, to Stads Radio Rotterdam. Soon working not only for that station, but for Stads Radio in The Hague and Amsterdam´s CITY FM too, as a presenter, dj, and audio designer. In 1997 I also started my career as a news host. At first only for both Stads Radio's, later via CNS for CITY FM and some other commercial radio stations.
