In this capacity, he is responsible for the entire financial management of the office. Before entering employment at Kneppelhout, he worked in a range of accounting positions for 13 years.

‘I place great value in building up and maintaining long-term relationships based on mutual trust, with respect and room for humour. My long career at Kneppelhout only goes to show that these values are my top priority.’

‘Due to the rapidly changing market in the legal profession, sufficient and timely (financial) management information is essential to remaining at the forefront of the field; a challenge that my fellow employees and I dedicate our efforts to with great pleasure. ICT plays an ever-increasing role in this effort. It’s a subject for which I have considerable affinity.’

‘In my free time, I like to cycle, preferably in far-off, exotic places such as the Himalayas, the Andes or the Rocky Mountains. I am also a member on the board of a Foundation that organises an historical cycling tour in West-Brabant each year.’
