I live in Houston, TX and work as an Information Architect at BrandExtract.

A bit of history…

Born in 1964 in the Netherlands, I started working in the Internet industry in 1998 after leaving my job at the biggest Telecommunications company in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After a brief spell with the largest Internet hosting company in Holland, I worked as a web content manager for the RIPE NCC, a not for profit organisating serving Internet Service Professionals globally. As a project manager, I took the lead in re-designing their existing website and incorporating many additional features.

In the period I worked for the RIPE NCC, I dealt with setting up the website for the Numbers Resource Organization and setting up the members’ only area of the RIPE.NET website.

I also helped various other successful websites to emerge, providing my expertise and talents. Additionally, I created restricted websites for several conferences and helped setting up a training tutorial website. I was also the managing content editor for most of the websites mentioned above; making sure the information on the websites was correct and up-to-date.

After relocating to Hobe Sound, Florida, I started my own company, working on various websites. in 1997, I relocated to Seattle, Washington and started at Eben Design before moving to Houston where I now work as Master Information Architect at BrandExtract.
