Born in Belgium, I am the ‘almost’ spitting image of my identical twin. Track and field was our whole life and we reached the top, until a motorcycle accident ended my career. I have written and illustrated several books on track and field as guidelines for new coaches. I majored in biology and physical education and taught for 4 years in Belgium, also coaching in track and field and swimming. Some of my many diplomas and certificates from the United States, include: Early Childhood Education, Life guard, Fitness Education and Nutrition, and Veterinary Technology through the Penn Foster College. After teaching for 9 years in America I changed my career and started working for Dr. Howell and Midway Animal Hospital in 2006.
