How come you're working on Defending our Oceans?
How come I am working on Defending our Oceans? Good question, Greenpeace called me end asked me if I was available. I was, so here I am.

What are you looking forward to most in this campaign?
Most of all that it will be a successful campaign, and that there will be a lot of action.

How/why did you get involved with Greenpeace?
I was working in a shipyard for just three weeks, and one of the Greenpeace ships was in the shipyard and I helped doing an overhaul of the main engine. Then they asked me if I would like to sail with them, but I didn't, and I didn't sail for eight years - so I never thought I would sail again. And know I know what I have missed all that time, now I've work for Greenpeace for one years, and I love it..

What personal connection do you have to the ocean (if any?)
I grew up near the ocean, Curacao is a small island in The Caribbean Sea, so I did a lot of water sports and it is my second home.

What made you become a marine engineer?
I studied marine engineering at the seaman's school in Holland, I always wanted to be a Engineer.

Anything else you'd like to say?
Well since I joined Greenpees my life has changed for the best!
