About Tim

I have always been interested in journalism and media. Every opportunity I am offered to enter a project and help tell its story I grasp with both hands. While never having studied journalism, I believe the best way to enter this particular field of work is by pursuing your passion.

From both sides, being press as well as informing the press I have extensive experience. Whether it is reporting, writing, interviewing or advice on any of these, I am always glad to help out wherever I can.

Recently I have developed myself in motorsports and especially in motocross. In 2020 I will cover most of the European MXGP-races on-site for several media. So, if you are interested, whether you are a website, magazine, newspaper or maybe an athlete or a team, I am available to create content. Call me or write me if you have any questions!

Specialization

Motocross

Possibly the most demanding sport in the world. A mixture of power, technique and mental strength. I have been following motocross since I can remember, which took a flight after I gave Motorsport.com the idea to do this more extensively in 2017. In 2020 I will attend all Dutch Masters and most European GP’s.

Racing

Racing has always been one of my biggest interests. Like mentioned earlier, I have now specialized in motocross, which does not mean I have given up on following the world of motor racing. I have worked and still work for several media on series like Formula 1, MotoGP and Formula E.

Hockey

American sports have always been an interest of me. Especially when I first saw a baseball game between New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, this was accelerated even more. Thanks to my work for Face-Off.nl I was offered the opportunity to attend NHL-games as a media representative.

Qualities

WRITING

From analyses, article to branded content. As a journalist and copy-writer I have grown more and more experienced in several areas. Are you in the market for a writer who can provide you with press releases and more? Be sure to contact me!

Previous work of mine in this field at Motorsport.com and Brabants Dagblad.

INTERVIEWING

From well-known celebrities to amateur sports, in each field I have shown to find the best stories. Even as a part of larger productions.

MEDIA

Reporting in media has changed in the last couple of years and so have I. In addition to writing I use video, photography and podcasts to tell stories. 

Previously I produced video content for Motorsport.com and hosted a hockey podcast for Face-Off.nl.

Previous assignments

Motorsport.com

Sportnieuws.nl

At Sportnieuws.nl I was one of the key writers on Formula 1 and American sports between may 2018 and March 2019. I also enjoyed creating content on football and especially analysing the performance of Ajax in its first season with Erik ten Hag as head coach. In addition to this, I incidentally created video content.
