My mission with Karakour Nation is to empower people to achieve their goals, and to create public spaces that promote well-being, encourage movement, and connect individuals from diverse backgrounds and ages. As an innovative developer, I aim to make a positive impact by leveraging technology to create solutions that address societal and environmental challenges. In addition, I support this mission in various other ways:

• Founder of Foodsharing in Wageningen in 2013 (today with 3.2 thousand members) and attempted national rollout in the Netherlands.
• Efforts to realise a parkour park in Wageningen (2015-2016) and a movement park for a neighbourhood renewal project (2021-2023).
• Participation in various environmental NGOs in the past, such as SHARE, ANTL, and S&I.
• Commitment to farmers and ranchers to foster mutual understanding between them and citizens (2018-2022)
• Setting up various communities
• Pursuit of a sustainable lifestyle and business practices.

As a passionate advocate for community well-being and urban development, I offer innovative public space design services that focus on creating multifunctional, inclusive, and engaging environments. My approach combines elements of parkour, fitness, play, and social interaction to transform underutilized areas into vibrant community hubs. Notable projects and proposals include:

• Wageningen Parkour Park Concept (2015-2016): A comprehensive plan for the city's first dedicated parkour facility, emphasizing accessibility and versatility for practitioners of all levels.
• Nuderijk Neighborhood Renewal Project (2021-2023): A holistic design for the Groen van Prinsterer square, featuring a movement park, pump track, natural play area, and community gathering spaces.

As a creative individual with an eye for detail, I have a side hustle as parkour and portrait photographer, focusing on:

• Photography with an eye on capturing personal stories, emotions, and milestones.
• Parkour and martial arts portraits
• Creation of show-reels

Driven by my love for cycling and an active lifestyle, I started building cycling-related side hustles, but I am about to discontinue them to focus more on my core activities. The services included:

• Product reviews of bicycles and accessories.
• Guided bicycle repair workshops.
• Rental of customised and branded bicycle trailers for private individuals and businesses.

With my affinity for horses and ranching, I explored the possibilities of offering horsemanship training and advice to horse owners, as well as working as a ranch hand. Ultimately, the mentality in the equestrian sector and the path of agricultural services were not the best fit for me. Nevertheless, these explorations provided valuable insights into where my true passions and strengths lie.
