CHOOSING CANADA
Born in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, he lived in Ghent, Belgium until he was 19. He played club hockey in both Belgium and the Netherlands before choosing to represent Canada internationally. He is eligible to represent Canada as his father was born in Calgary, Alberta. "The decision for me to take this opportunity was not very hard. When I got my [Canadian] passport, I immediately contacted [then Canadian national head coach] Anthony Farry." (fieldhockey.ca, 14 Mar 2016; sporza.be, 28 Nov 2018)

EDUCATION
In addition to a bachelor's degree in business administration, he studied a master's in finance at Esade Business and Law School in Barcelona, Spain. (LinkedIn profile, 01 Feb 2019)
