Born in the Netherlands fishing town of Vlaardingen in 1944 he was, from childhood, surrounded and involved in a maritime tradition.
From an early age building Model ships was his hobby and at the age of 25 it became his profession.

In 1976 he was commissioned as a professional model shop builder and restorer at the Fishery Museum in Vlaardingen a position which he held until 1981.

In 1981 he was commisioned as a restorer of the exhibits at the Maritime Museum in Rotterdam.

In addition to this he used his extensive knowledge and experience to start his own company for the building of model ships and the restoration of both models and maquettes.
