About Martijn van der Ven

Born in 1975, my first watch was a Ruhla, my first audio cassette ‘The best of Elvis Presley’ and the first movie I saw in the theater ‘Terminator 2, judgement day’. I am a professional copywriter with 20 years of advertising experience, a father of two and a Motörheadbanger without hair. If you ever visit Eindhoven, drop by for a beer.
