Having shown great interest in professional motorsports since his

childhood Jorren followed his dream of becoming a real racing

pilot by the end of 2004, when he managed to get himself into the

drivers pool of "Van Amersfort Racing" a Formula 3000 racing team.

Although it was rough in the beginning he showed both promise and

potential and with a lot of dedication he made himself a name

among the Pilots.

He was especially reknown for his reckless passing Maneuvers,

often showing exceptional awareness for complicated situations

which even led to Jokes about him having a "sixth sense". He

always laughed this remarks off but the truth was that something

really was there. He never talked about it and he wasnt even sure

himself what was going on, but sometimes just heartbeats before a

dangerous situation came up he got a strange insight into its

possible outcomes. This gave him the reaction time he needed to

perfom daring maneuvers at very high speeds and thus keeping an

edge over his opponents. His driving style earned him a small but

loyal fanbase as well as many critics who accused him of taking

far to many risks and pointing out that he couldnt possible keep

control over his car when maneuvering at those speeds.

On the fateful 3rd June 2006 the critics where shown to be right

when Jorren lost control over his vehicle during a passing

maneuver at the German "Hockenheim Ring". He collided with two

other drivers at full speed which resulted in the death of both

other pilots and servere injuries for a nearby technician. Jorren

himself got out comparativly well, with only a couple of broken

bones and lost teeth. He got charged with reckless manslaughter

but was "in dubio pro reo" eventually released. The Formula 3000

racing commission however revoked his racing licence and banned

him for life from all Europaen race courses, effectivly ending his

professional career.

After six months of physical therapy and a fruitless attempt to

study Engineering Physics at the University of Amsterdam , Jorren

decided that he needed a fresh Start. He sucessfully apllied for a

temporary US working permit and moved to Houston, Texas.

There he started to work as a mechanic at the Houston Nascar

racing course , his life ban preventing him from obtaining a new

racing licence even in the United States. His exeptional driving

skills combined with a knack for showmanship, which he displayed

at Motorconventions and on parking lots during race weekends soon

got the attention of Marvin Burtwig, the Manager of a Texan

motorcycle stuntshow. So Jorren got into the stuntman buisness and

after a couple of months as sidekick he performed his first solo

show as "The flying Dutchman" on a Yamaha. It went well enough and

he became a regular in the

southwestern motorstunt

circus .

After two years of touring

he had put enough money

aside to attend a one year

class at the "LA Hillside

Stunt Performance School"

where he earned a licence

for Type 6 Pyrotechnics

along with a "degree" in

"stuntperformance". He has

since worked as stuntman

for both filmproductions and

televison while still

attending at the occasional motorshow.

Jorren is a painfully optimistic person keeping an air of

cheerfulness and "can do" spirit at almost all times. He relies on

his natural charme rather than rethorics to win people over and

has a talent for motivating those around him. Due to the high

physical demands that come with his occupation he goes to great

lenghts to keep himself in shape. He takes regular hiking trips in

the San Gabriel mountains as well yoga- and fitness boxing

classes. He is also quite particular about his food preferring

organic grown and eating mostly vegetarian.He is interested in

positve thinking and self empowerment

philosophies and to that end attends

Seminars and workshops.

In his remaining time he is a regular

visitor of the LA clubscene.

However despite his busy and cheerful

exterior the memories of the accident still

haunt him and his precognitions as well as

other strange phenomena seem to be getting

more frequent lately. At the moment Jorren

is also charged with possesion of a small

amount of marihuana and possible facing a

hefty fine or a month in county jail

although he hopes for his laywer to make a

deal for community work instead.
