The Time Traveler

Who is the time traveler? My name is Jeroen de Wolf, born 31-1-1965, in Amsterdam, happily married and father of three children. In addition to my love for history, I love speed and sports. I like to ride my motorcycle or racing bike and enjoy running. I also like to go on vacation and being an Ajax fan is instilled in me from an early age.

After working for about 30 years in various commercial positions at Kodak, IBM and the last 20 years at Hewlett-Packard, I completely changed course in 2016: I stopped working and started studying history at the University of Amsterdam. I have since obtained my master's degree in military history and have turned my hobby into my profession.

Because, I have realized my two dreams: teaching history at the Cambium College in Zaltbommel and combining my commercial knowledge with my knowledge of history to improve the connection between teams. During my studies I became more and more convinced that it is important to share interesting and important historical knowledge with other people. My main goal is to let people feel history in order to better understand what happened in the past, but with this knowledge also to look critically at your own ideas about today's society.
