I am a 27-year-old marathon runner with very big ambitions. Since the beginning of 2022, I have been living 100% as a professional athlete because of my contract with Topsport Defence. This gives me an excellent opportunity to get the most out of my sports career! I am also active as a coach within the Altius project of Runners' Lab Athletics Team and I enjoy delving into the world of stocks and real estate.

Athletics (5000m and 10000m)
I am a distance runner of 28 years old and I live in Kapelle-op-den-Bos. I started taking part in international championships at the age of 22, and the Olympic Games in Tokyo were the biggest event I ever had the privilege of taking part in. Until last year, I was still studying for my bachelor's degree in architecture at the LUCA school of arts in Brussels. Since this year, I have been practising my sport professionally under contract at Topsport Belgian Defence. I dream of achieving a top 10 place at a World Championship or Olympic Games.

Triathlon / Gravel & Adventure cycling
I am addicted to sport and passionate about cycling. A day without cycling is a day not lived. Combining a career in digital with sport and a relationship with an equally ambitious dream of a woman.

Triathlon and fitness
Over 8 years of an active life. Set a sports goal after being quite ill for a long time. This is a hobby that got out of hand and enjoys being active. Combining family time and sports time makes for intense workouts.
