I was born in August 1st 1960, grew up with dogs but got my first GSD when I was 16 and came in contact with dog sport than, purchased  my first pup in 1980, became a member of VVDH (Belgium GSD Club) also in 1980, with this pup, my first competition dog I competed later on in more than 80 trials, included 4 times Regionals, and 3 times Nationals, ... after this I worked  several dogs to SchH III , and till today I still enjoy training.
Straight after I joined my club I got involved in the protection and helper work, got my official trial helper license in 1985, and beside a lot of local trials I was also a helper for Regionals, Nationals and Selection Trials.
1987 was for me the start as breeder for GSD's , till today I still breed them and try to breed healthy, stabile, strong character working dogs.
I became member of SV Germany in 1989 and in 1997 I joined also United Schutzhund Clubs of America.
