About Me

My name is Jacco (Yah-koh) van Beek. I was born in The Netherlands and grew up on a dairy farm near Peterborough, Ontario. I studied Mechanical Engineering at Carleton University. I currently work for Galtronics. I don't have as much free time as I used too, but when I can I love to tinker in Computer Graphics (especially with Blender and Inkscape) and love sharing my enthusiasm for CG by teaching.

I live in Ottawa's west end with my wife and 3 kids. Despite being terrible at it, I also really enjoy playing soccer. I've completed 3 Spartan Sprint, and I'm pretty proud of myself for that. =)
