My life in Greenpeace started a few years ago, in 2002, straight after the conversion of the Esperanza. I had been working on a shipyard for about ten years as a welder/ shipbuilder. When the Esperanza was bought it wasn't yet ready to be a Greenpeace ship, so a major six month refit had to take place at the shipyard where I was working.

At that time I got to know several crew members. I started talking and tried to get some information about the life on board. After all those month's work I fell in love with the ship and felt a connection with the Greenpeace people and I thought this is it! If I wanted to do something for a better environment, then this would be my chance. I wrote a letter and after a few days I had a response. Yes! I was welcome. Since than I sailed many seas and helped out on many different campaigns all over the world.

Hello my friend!

You and the others from the crew are doing a great job defending our oceans.
