As a father of 3 daughters, I can proudly say that our family is a 'girl-power' family. We love to travel, although not much time is dedicated for this activity, but we enjoy as much as we can.
The mother of my children is An Daeren. She tries to play some music (cello) and sings in a choral Arabesk. She is a great mother who loves coocking and baking. In the near future, she tells me, she will add a space dedicated to some recipes and coocking stories.... But I am afraid we will have to wait for still a little while. An is not really a computer addict
Jolien is my oldest daughter. Since she is 16 years old and not much at home. She loves to chat on the computer. Music is for all the females in the family a real passion. Joliens plays traverse and she sings also in a Choral Furiakante at Arte Musicale. She also joins the symphonic Orchestra Forza in the same group
Heleen plays clarinet in the same group, that owns also a symphonic orhestra Forza.
Marlies is my youngest daughter, but not the least, concearning music. She sings at the choral Furiakanti, and she plays flute and traverse.

My most important hobby is my time spended to my work. More specific to the creative part of my work. A lot of effort is spended organizing and communicating so that the right things are done neatly, so more and more the time for the more creative work is fading away. Software development and engineering are some of my great chalenges, but programming and reading documentation about how things are working are also a favorite.
In my free time I play volleyball. I used to play with men, but unfortunatly, the club stopped playing beginning this season. I still play in a mixed group called "WOEST". We hope we end this year again in the second place of the local competition. At last I play with a couple of people just for pleasure, and if there is no volleyball I play badminton. If I didn't had the opportunity to do some sports, I would not be able to do my Job as well as I do today (I'll hope :-)
Reading books is also one of my favorite time passing, but only on summmer holidays. No time in normal seasons for that ...
I like to photograph the world as I see it. Thats one of the reasons to set up this site, because I want to publish some of my foto's on the web. I use a Canon 350D since june 2005 and I am very pleased with it.
