Born in 1953. Specialised in domotics since 1991. Starting 2007, a lot of interest in domotics for the care sector. I work mainly as a freelance author for trade papers and manufacturers of domotics. Furthermore I instruct domotics-lessons for installers and architects. I also execute consulting tasks for manufacturers, the Vei (Vlaams Elektro Innovatiecentrum) and Vormelek (an organisation that’s in charge of the education of installers in Belgium). At present I’m making a series of articles for the European Copper Institute concerning domotics.
