I was born and raised in the Netherlands and am now a Pennsylvania-based Event Producer. It warms my heart to see people enjoying an experience I have created. Having taken the leap to move to the United States and making my dreams come true, I love making other people’s dreams, ideas, and concepts become a reality through events and gatherings.
Over the past five years, I have earned a bachelor’s degree in International Leisure Management from Breda University (NLD) and a master’s in Event Management from New York University. These academic achievements, coupled with my hands-on experience working on various experiential events nationwide with Ghost Experiential & High Contrast, have been instrumental in jump-starting my career. Some of my favorite projects include UPS: Under the Shield, FanDuel Casino: Winner Winner Chicken Dinner, and CarMax: CarMini.
Throughout my professional journey, I have had the opportunity to expand my areas of expertise in boutique experiential companies. This environment has honed my project and event management skills, from acquisition to execution and aftercare. I have learned the importance of flash budgeting and understanding the intricacies of event operations, which are crucial in delivering successful events.
After I am done with work, I come home to my beautiful wife, daughter, and our dog, Gus, an English Mastiff. I love exploring and learning about single malt whiskies, especially those from the Isle of Islay, UK. I also enjoy watching movies and series, playing my guitar, eating good food, and playing tennis and squash.
