My name is Albert Kooijman (1964). I was born in Bunnik in The Netherlands. My parents were fond of sailing and therefore we moved in 1974 to Roelofarendsveen near a small lake named the Braassemermeer. In this year I also got my first own boat, an one-design dinghy Optimist. With this boat I participated in many sailing regattas, so that's were my passion for sailing started.

In the mid-80's I started working in the office automation branch and in 1990 I started my own company QUBE, located in Hoofddorp.

Soon after business was up-and-running I also took time to go sailing again and in 1995 I went back to One-Design sailing and choose the J/22 class. In this class I won my first European Champion title in 1997.

In 2001 I met my wife, Monique Beuk and in November 2002 our indentical twin boys Bart & Bas were born.
