It all began in the Netherlands.
I’ve always had a passion for real estate, and when I moved to the Algarve in 1998, I saw the perfect opportunity to turn that passion into reality. This beautiful region allowed me to pursue my dreams—not only as an entrepreneur and investor, but also as a designer.

That same year, I founded a successful real estate agency in Portugal’s West Algarve, known as PPI – Portuguese Property Investments. For many years, this company was the main focus of my professional life.

Villa Surga is one of the most recent additions to my small collection of exceptional properties—each one carefully designed and lovingly restored by me.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about golf, animals, travel, and meeting new people.

In 2023, I participated in the Dutch TV show B&B Vol Liefde, which is how many of you may have come to know me.
