Frank was raised in The Netherlands and educated as a Chemical Engineer. After his studies he and his wife Francien left their home country in 1982 in search of some adventure. Back then they intended to return within a few years, but indeed they never did! They immigrated to South Africa where their first daughter was born in Kempton Park. In 1986 he joined an American Multinational Petrochemical company and started a 28 year International career. He was stationed in Italy, The Netherlands, four different locations in Germany, twice in the USA, Kuwait and in Saudi Arabia. The youngest daughter was born in The Netherlands but moved to Germany when she was only 2 months old. Frank and Francien have provided their two daughters with a truly international upbringing supported by an excellent global network of International Schools and communities. After a 33 year international lifestyle Frank decided to withdraw from a 24/7 active working life at the age of 57. He intends to continue his nomadic expatriate way of life together with his wife and therefore decided to move temporarily to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They arrived there in June 2015.
