I’m a lucky bastard: I live in Amsterdam🇳🇱 & Athens🇬🇷, met people in over 85 countries and worked & lived in 4 continents with my wife Sanne (DeskGuru).
How I make a living:
After our beloved Spotted by Locals was acquired and our next (ad)venture failed, I found my real calling: helping entrepreneurs ditch 💩 work to create more time for things they love doing. That’s Ordo ab Chao.
- I analyse & optimize processes
- I organise – by building spreadsheets & systems
- I automate – using smart tools & code (together with L&T Studio)
Check out what we did for clients like Chez Nina, EasyGreek, Spotted by Locals, Reben & Stichting Bostherapiecentrum.
Things I believe in & love:
- It feels good to be less dependent on US Big Tech
- The philosophy of stoicism – my aim is to one day be a Stoic
- We should resist the automation of virtue
- To combat polarisation, we need more people in the “silent middle”.
- A sports competition with friends since 2007 (until , probably)
Working on (September 2026):
- Deciding which “do good” cause to support (with my time)
- A trip to Baku Azerbaijan (October) & Côte d’Ivoire (Winter 2026/2027)
- Vibe-coding a “Pocketbook notes to Notion” tool
