Born and raised in the Netherlands, Ewout is the middle child of an older brother and younger sister. He has an interest in teaching and education. While in high school he volunteered at his old elementary school and discovered his passion of working with children.

Ewout volunteered in various respects while living in Europe, America, and Africa. He worked at castles in France, assisted in Waldorf music building in Vermont and organizing festivals, as well as worked at a nature reserve in Botswana. He lived a year in Norway at a Folkhogskule and studied Norwegian, Social studies, woodworking, and “friluftsliv” (environmental/nature education).

Horseback riding was one of Ewout’s passions when growing up, going outdoors; seeing the world and its nature and culture differences.

Ewout moved to Alaska with his wife and son in 2013. They learned about Winterberry when their son joined the hybrid program in 2018. We loved Winterberry immediately and since 2019 I have been a part of the great family as staff member where I assist in Kindergarten.
