Why! Who and where I am. Where I've been.

Who I am

I was a serial expat, because it’s easier to fit in when you're supposed not to, but I started living and working in country number six in 2000 and didn’t leave. Not yet, anyway.

In the photo (right), I am fourth from left. This was taken in Libeek, the Netherlands, in August 1999. From the left to right, the people in the photo are: Marc Smits, Szilvia Biro, Russell, Peter Hilton, Alex Zeffertt, Carl Dolby, Marion Smits, Fleur Van Rootselaar and Jean-Didier Garaud.

Where I am

I am now working for Lunatech Research in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. You can contact me by sending e-mail to or by ringing +31 10 7502600 during office hours, Dutch time. I don’t just work, of course, and if I’m in the pub then I won’t answer the phone.

What this page is for

Much as I couldn’t resist the temptation to publish such flattering photographs of myself, that’s not it. Rather, if we know each other but haven’t been in touch for a while then I would like to hear from you.

As a footnote, this page also lets me remind myself that I used to play with an H2G2 user page.
