Richard is working with the opensource CMS TYPO3 on a daily basis since 2010. He is an active member of the (Dutch) TYPO3 community and speaks on several events about several topics and organised the first Dutch TYPO3 Contribution Bootup Day. His work for the TYPO3 core resulted in being a lead of the TYPO3 SEO initiative and lead of the TYPO3 Dashboard initiative.

Besides his passion for TYPO3 he is a husband and father of 2 kids. His hobby? TYPO3! So in his spare time he is putting even more time into TYPO3 by contributing to core, several extensions and expanding the Dutch community.
