Attending a higher professional education institute
in the middle of the Netherlands forced me to move back, to Hilversum in
this case. After graduation in Telematics I still had to fulfill my national
service. Due to my graduation from higher professional education I could get
myself into a special group which was trained to become officers in the
Royal Netherlands Navy Reserve.
After six weeks of training I was stationed in the middle of Amsterdam.
There I teached personnel the very basics of computer technology, and had
generally a good time.
Since then I worked for a life insurance company as a
computer programmer, and now as an embedded software engineer for a large
electronics company,
building Private Automatic Branch Exchanges.
In November 2001 I got involved with this girl. I'd known Wendy, also a skydiver, for a while, but only about that time we discovered how likeminded we are. That created the trust between us to explore a future together. Until early 2003 she was doing a 6 month tour near Split, Croatia for SFOR. Now we've found the time to live together and share the things in our life.
What more is there to tell? A lot, but I save that for some other time. Just look at the rest of my homepage and you'll learn much more.
