Dutch. Yacht Broker, Inventor/Designer and Trader (1981)
Autodidact, Son of a seafarer, born in the historic city of Bolsward in Friesland the North of The Netherlands.

My lifestyle is built on creating and selling passion-driven products. It began in 1997 as a graffiti artist, which ignited a lifelong, self-taught journey through graphic design, caligraphy, illustration, and painting, ultimately leading to yacht and product design & selling bicycles and vintage watches on the side.

Driven by intrinsic motivation, I've always sought freedom and to make a living from what I love. In the end of 2022, a trip to the South of France to find a job in yacht design serendipitously led me into yacht brokerage in 2024.

In 2025 I founded my one-man brokerage and design studio, operating from my tiny 6m liveaboard motorboat Jiyū ("Freedom" in Japanese) in Port Vauban. Here, I unite my passions: helping clients buy and sell the perfect yacht for their lifestyle and inventing products & artwork to license.

Parallel to this, my fascination with markets evolved into a mastered craft: I have been a dedicated day trader since 2021.

My business ethos: Honesty and sincerity above all. I believe in direct communication, relentless efficiency, and unwavering integrity. I say what I think, do what I say, and am a partner you can trust blindly. My values are non-negotiable.
