With his background as a sprinter on inline he later developed into a strong long-distance skater and started making big results in marathon ice skating in the Beloften-Division (2nd division). He has made a steady progression through many years and have had several contract offers from Top-Division (1st division) ice marathon teams in Netherlands, but choice to stay with his current team moving up into Top-Division to priorities his freedom to be able to continue inline skating.

He also talks about his way of optimizing his training through focus, reflection and inspiration from other training environments.
