Career

He began his writing career in 2001 with the book "Waarom ik altijd nee zeg" ("Why I always say no") to answer his son Dante. His 2002 book, "Mijn mond eet graag spinazie maar ik niet" ("My mouth eats spinach alright, but not me") looks through a child's eyes at the bizarre world of grown ups. This book was also turned into a children's play. "De passie van de puber" ("The passion of a teenager") received the Knokke-Heist prize for best children's book of 2006.
