About Me

I am a film director and a screenwriter that also happened to finish medicine beforehand. No, it doesn't come very handy nowadays, but at least I may have a slightly better chance directing House MD our E.R if really desperate. ;)

Together with Suzanne we're travelling and couch surfing for quite a number of years now and as yet do not show signs of stopping — this thing just gets better as you go, right?
