    Bio

    I’m the COO & one of the partners at Yoast. I’m an all-around nice guy, they say. Nevertheless, I hate full inboxes and love pigeonholing, although I know people can’t be categorized like that. WordPress posts can. Sucker for morning smiles and music that you can’t get out of your head.

    Interests

    My wife, my two lovely daughters. Sketching and drawing, hiking, magazines/books/websites, Netflix and so, sunshine (but not too warm), gadgets. I like CSS as well but haven’t fiddled with it recently.

    WordPress Origin Story

    Started working with WordPress since Joost introduced me to it back in the days. Learned a lot from building websites myself and obviously at Yoast over the past years. Building a company on WordPress is a blast. The WordPress community is a blast. Get our plugins, follow our courses. Optimize your website. Rank better.
