I started working when I was 14 years old and studied at evening for years. After working for the justice department for 5 years as social worker I decided to work for myself. After opening one bar I decided not ever again. From top line coffee shops at A1 locations I ended having 5 star restaurants and 4 stars hotels. I bought companies changed them for the better and sold them again. I became more and more involved with the ABN/AMRO and on request of the bank I checked hotels and restaurants or managed them for a while. During the last 12 years I bought and sold for myself. The last 2 years I became involved in international trading mostly commodities. After 20 years I wanted to go international and we moved to Curacao, Netherlands Antilles in the Caribbean.
