"As a 12-year-old kid, my first gig was in the kitchen. I already knew that I wanted to be a chef.

My career allowed me to gain knowledge and expertise at renowned restaurants like restaurant Kasteel Heemstede* in Houten, De Burgemeester* in Linschoten, Amstel Hotel La Rive* in Amsterdam and Bentinck in Amerongen.”

"Creating an experience is my favourite thing to do. The details, attention, sophistication and the interplay between hospitality and gastronomy. 

I instantly fell in love with hospitality during my first side job in a high-end establishment. After completing my degree at the Hospitality Business School in The Hague, I gained relevant professional experience outside the hospitality industry for a couple of years. However, I decided to follow my heart and return to hospitality, building professional expertise at renowned restaurants such as De Burgemeester* in Linschoten and Aan de Zweth* in Schipluiden.”
