I have been working with pyrotechnics since 1995 but my interest in pyrotechnics started long before that. My first successful rocket was launched around 1980 (into the garden of our neighbours).My experience is mainly development and problem solving connected to product quality, health and safety,increased performance and lower production cost. To a certain extent I have also developed new pyrotechnic products and compositions..Specialties: classic pyrotechnics like Illuminating flares, tracers, NIR emitting pyrotechnics, visual smoke, distress signals, delay compositions and fireworks.Other strong interests are cigars, fishing, snorkelling, travel, wine and food.
