On a personal note, Ken is first-generation Canadian, born to a Dutch mother and a German father. He has two daughters aged 30 and 31 and was highly involved in their upbringing. As a young man, he learned to speak German by working in Germany for a year.

Ann and Ken met in Montreal in 2010, brought together by a common passion for reading, travelling, creativity and personal and professional adventure. Today, they are happy grand-parents to three little girls.

Ken is more sociable, relaxed and reflective. Ann is more of an intellectual, more organized and driven. Their relationship is for them a source of great joy that requires constant attention and vigilant care.
