After he finished high school, he started to work for various Harley-Davidson shops, where he learned to work on bikes. At the age of 17, he already owned two Triumph’s, and when he was eighteen he had four Triumphs, and a Suzuki GT 750. After getting his drivers license, (being eighteen for just 6 months), the Triumphs all had to go, and were replaced by a bike he had wanted for all of his life; a Harley-Davidson. This bike is still in his life; it’s an FXE-F 1200 Super Glide Fat Bob, which has been rebuild more than once, and ridden for many miles. Going everywhere on the bike, there was one thing he always had in his pocket; his camera!
At the age of 23 he started dragracing, and he and his team named "Midnight Madness"?, raced the bike on all the major races and dragstrips all over Europe. He has competed in many classes; starting with the Streetbikes, than Ultimate Street Bike, Super Stock, Pro-Stock, and than finally in the fastest gasburning class; Top Gas! Also again taking thousands of photo’s of everything interesting, at every racetrack! Being a racer for more than 18 years gave him insight in the world of fast bikes, and he’s still involved in the world of dragracing as a helper/mechanic, and of course photographer/reporter.
