What are 3 things you’re passionate about?:
Live production events, great food and Belgian beer – in that order, actually.
There’s nothing quite like the thrill of a live sports or entertainment show – the lights, the signals, the last-minute curveballs. I live for the adrenaline and love the mix of precision, creativity and real-time problem solving because it’s both a challenge and a thrill – and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a complex broadcast come together seamlessly.
And after such an adrenaline-filled day, you need to recharge with some food. Whether at home or on the road, I love discovering great food. So you’ll find me chasing the perfect bite – whether it’s street food in Singapore or a meticulously plated dish in a fancy restaurant. Much like a live production, a well-prepared meal reflects planning, timing, and attention to detail – plus it brings people together in a meaningful way.
And to top it off? A cold, complex Belgian beer. I have a special appreciation for Belgian beer-not just for the taste, but for the craftsmanship and tradition behind it. It’s a reminder that great results come from patience, expertise and passion.
