My Sponsors 

Unfortunately a weightlifter in Belgium cannot count on a lot of financial support.  It is even worse, there is practically no money at all for weightlifting. Even the lifting equipment like shoes and training suits have to be bought by oneself. As a possible contender for the Olympics I am fortunate to be able to count on the Belgian Olympic Committee for refundment of the majority of the expenses made for participation in European and World championships.

Therefore there is no question of full-time training as a professional like in many other countries. So, to be able to measure with the professional lifters one really depends on the help of dedicated sympathizers. 

In my case, I want to thank those without whom I would never have reached this level;

my family because of their mental, financial and practical support from the start,
my employer AVC, who makes it possible for me to work flexible on half-time base, 
my sponsors ASICS, SANAS, La MARIPOSA.

As of 1/04/2007 I am temporarily employed by BLOSO, for full time training in order to qualify for the Olympics. I am very grateful for this opportunity.

Anyone willing to support me to attain the Olympics of  2008 can take contact with me via the contact page.

Everyone knows the importance of proper supplementation in topsport. 
However one's got to be careful about the quality of the supplements. There have been circulating warnings from the Olympic committees and federations for supplements containing forbidden substances. 

That's why I use the high quality SANAS-supplementation, developed in a scientific lab and also distributed in pharmacies.
