With ESSential RESources I provide solutions for people who aim to be self reliant in their basic physiological needs. The main focus points at this moment being energy systems and home grown food cultivation. For energy systems I have partnered and co-founded NoaTEQ, (2022) in which we use proven high quality components from proven manufacturers to upgrade existing solar installations to Autonomous Power Supply giving them functionality independent of the energy grid. We add an Energy Storage System (ESS) to attain 24h energy consumption from your own system for as large a part of the year as possible. We take inventory, advise, design, deliver and install your systems. After completion we offer our service to help you use it in the best way with the goal to become more aware of your energy use and more efficient with it.For food cultivation I can provide organic nutrients not to feed you plants, but to attract the soil life and with this restore the natural balance that has been disrupted by use of insecticides and other polutants. A healthier soil is paramount in restoring healthy growth conditions for your plants. I also provide advice on various types of cultivation such as vegetable growing, fruit tree maintenance and hydroponic systems. I have the support of (inter)national experts I've partnered with, each with decades of experience in their respective fields to provide the best advice whether you own a large plot of land or grow on a small balcony. The goal is to educate the consumer to get great yields with even greater quality produce.Next year 2025 I would like to add walter filtration and pure drinkwater to my services, anyone with information about this I would be open to any form of collaboration.

When I returned to the Netherlands I was promptly recruited as the sales representative for the East and Southeast European markets. I conducted promotional and sales activities to achieve a higher turnover of product sales, educate resellers about products, create business alliances with wholesalers and maintain al relations in the sales chain. Work territory encompasses 11 countries in Central and Southeast Europe. Communication is mainly in English, where possible, but inhibited by language barrier many times so creative solutions are necessary. During my time here I successfully created new connections and first time sales in two countries, revived inactive countries and increased turnover in existing markets. I was responsible for country turnovers, hosting tradeshow events and assisting with problems in sales chain from production line to reseller shelf. I travelled over 250.000 kilometers by car in three years promoting the brand and sollidifying the company's market share in this region.

To expand my knowledge of international business I took the challenge of a project to work an live abroad in Romania. I fulfilled a position as customer service and sales specialist for a Microsoft Store project by Arvato. I excelled in this position as a top seller and also highest ranking CSAT scores of the team. I improved my digital skillset significantly.It has been a great period of my life, working in a building with 15 nationalities increasing my communicative skill and stayed 2 months longer than the planned 6 months duration to return to Holland for an international position with another company.

Den Bosch

As a failsafe plan and to continue my aspirations to work self employed I ventured out as an independent contractor for sales and acquisition work. I worked for clients in the energy division and real-estate investment. Here I learnt a lot of ways not to do it, and how important it is to choose good business relations and to put your energy into projects that give you energy back instead of only take. It drained me both energetically as financially so after several attempts to keep my business upright I decided to stop in this direction and take a break by exploring international options.

Den Bosch

After several years of commercial work and testing various business models I enrolled in a course to work professionally at altitude as a Rope Access Technician in either urban environments or offshore. To diversify and expand my chances I also started as a Tree Worker assisting a more experienced colleague climber. I intended to combine my built up knowledge and skill in commercial roles with my love for climbing to be able to work as an independent contractor. Relying on my skill in acquisition it seemed a benefit for acquiring assignments.Regretfully I did not maintain proper physical strength training which had the effect of an over-exertion in my lower arms and wrists which incapacitated me for this line of work. I therefore ceased my activities within the first six months.

With Groupon I took my first steps in a B2B environment. The company introduced a new concept in the Netherlands, which originated from the US and with massive success. The concept enables business owners to use their unused capacity as a marketing and advertising tool to attract new customers and stimulate repeat business. My role was to activate the Den Bosch region. Where others failed, I succeeded in reaching my targets near the end of the 3 month trial contract and was offered an attractive contract renewal. After this I continued to achieve 150% of my target for 4 out of 6 months, with target increasing each month. In total I generated over 40 B2B customers of which several were retained as repeat business customers.After a six month sabbatical which I spent travelling South America upon return I was re-hired with a trial contract as standard procedure. Regretfully within the first month I was informed that, despite of their high praise of my former successes, they were unable to renew my contract due to cutbacks in the southern region. They assured me it had nothing to do with my capacity and they regretted having to make this decision.

Den Bosch

For the purpose of acquiring experienced to enable me to start my own business in the near future I joined the Appco Group sales office in Den Bosch, Infinity Marketing. It was an interesting structure for me, because of two aspects: Responsibility for your own income through 100% commission and the opportunity to learn how to build a business. We were active in a door-to-door campaign for one the leading Energy suppliers in the country. The company cuture is a high energy environment, open information sharing, teaching and being taught and a constant chance to improve yourself through the internal cycle of development and a global network for gathering information.I achieved a consistent high performance in sales and progressed to team leader responsible for sales targets of the sector consisting of up to 6 field reps. I gained experience building and training my own team, but never managed to complete the cycle of development to Business Owner.I was counted among the top 10% of the country out of several hundred field reps qualifying as a member of the Platinum Club, was one of the few awarded the Q club pin which represented a lower than 5% cancellation rate which was very rare. On top of that I was awarded a Rising Star award and selected for several international networking trips. After 2 years I had produced over 1500 new customers representing several millions in turnover for the client. I felt I had gained enough knowledge in this B2C market to find my challenge in a B2B environment.

After completion of intensive physical and psychological testing I was hired as an entry level Firefighter: Brandwacht der 2e klasse at the main Firestation of Breda, at the Tramsingel. We were the center Firestation with fulltime staff, supported by 3 smaller Firestations which worked with volunteers. We worked in 24 hour 4 shift construct.During stand-by duty my responsibilities entailed basic training, maintenance, sports, inventory. Deployment ranged from inside and outdoor fire repression, technical assistance at traffic accidents, dive deployment, calamity control and responding to accidents involving hazardous materials.I gained a valuable knowledge of acting in stressful and dangerous situations, working efficiently under time pressure, creative problemsolving and basic technical knowledge. I choose to end my service here because of recurring injuries to the knees and for feeling a bit of an outsider in the team due to not being local.

Arnhem, Gelderland, Netherlands

Since approximately 12 years of age I dreamt of being a soldier, upon turning 18 years of age and completing my high school diploma I passed the medical and psychological exams, enroled in summer of that year to complete the 20 week AMOL training. I had trained 5 days a week for over 2 years to complete this rigorous training, which about 70% of applicants fail to complete. I was awarded my Red beret and started as a Soldier 2nd class with the 11 Air Manoeuvre Brigade 11th Kingscoy to later become a Grenadeer 1st class. My job was on the machine gun team, which was then a two person firearm due to it's weight and the amount of ammunition it used. Because of this team job, we also got extensive 4 week Combat Life Saver training to perform first aid in combat situations.Our main duties as a combat unit entailed continuous training domestic / abroad in weapons tactics, combat drills in various environments and weather, survival training, displacement by foot / transport, helicopter drills, parachute training and continuous physical and mental excercise. I also served overseas with ISAF-6 In Kabul, Afghanistan in 2003. The 11th infantry batallion was also a 'Garde regiment Grenadiers' which means besides our combat deployment we were also involved with matters concerning the Royal Dutch Family. We marched in front of the 'Gouden Koets' during Prinsjesdag, the royal wedding of King Willem-Alexander & Maxima and the burial ceremony of Prins Claus.I choose to resign after my contract ended because although I really loved the comradery, the challenge and the experiences I did not always agree with the hierarchial system which made me curious about other things the world had to offer and found my next challenge in solitary travel to test my self reliance.
