Fred groeide op in een warm gezin met een Rotterdamse vader die veel in het buitenland werkte en een moeder met Indonesische roots. Zijn jeugd speelde zich af op verschillende plekken in de wereld, en juist dat leerde hem om niet te snel te oordelen. Nieuwsgierigheid, openheid en belangstelling voor andermans idee\u00ebn zijn waarden die hem nog altijd richting geven.<\/strong><br><br><strong>Hij woont in Hoog Dalem<\/strong> met zijn vrouw; hun drie kinderen zijn inmiddels volwassen. Voor Fred is Gorinchem de stad waar zijn gezin wortel heeft geschoten \u2013 groot genoeg om van alles te beleven, klein genoeg om elkaar te kennen. De stad heeft volgens hem een sociale kern: mensen zorgen voor elkaar, en dat maakt het wonen hier prettig en betekenisvol.<br><br><strong>In het dagelijks leven<\/strong> werkt Fred bij een bank als adviseur duurzaamheid en data. Hij helpt organisaties stappen te zetten naar een toekomst die leefbaar blijft \u2013 ook voor komende generaties. Daarnaast is hij taalcoach voor Oekra\u00efense vluchtelingen in<br>Gorinchem, iets wat hem dicht bij mensen brengt die hier een nieuw bestaan opbouwen.<br><br><strong>Duurzaamheid<\/strong> is voor Fred meer dan een werkveld; het is een overtuiging. Hij maakt zich zorgen over de stijgende energieprijzen en de druk die dat legt op huishoudens. En over hoe we, met een ouder wordende bevolking, zorg en betrokkenheid kunnen blijven organiseren. Die vraagstukken drijven hem \u2013 juist omdat hij gelooft dat oplossingen ontstaan als mensen samenwerken, hun kennis delen en elkaar vertrouwen.<br><br><em>Die gedachte bracht hem ook bij D66. Niet de tegenstelling, maar de verbinding vormt voor hem het vertrekpunt. Fred is bedachtzaam en analytisch, iemand die eerst luistert en daarna spreekt. Hij stelt vragen die de kern raken en brengt structuur in complexe vraagstukken. <\/em><br><br><strong>Betrouwbaar en gul \u2013 zo typeren anderen hem.<br>Betrouwbaar \u2013 Onderzoekend \u2013 Genuanceerd \u2013 Gedreven \u2013 Volhardend \u2013 Gul<\/strong><br><br>10e op onze lijst voor de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen 2026\t<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1529,"featured_media":2177,"menu_order":0,"template":"","labels":[],"search-tags":[],"division-tags":[45],"class_list":["post-1890","people-type","type-people-type","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","division-tags-kandidaten-gr2026"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 Gorinchem &#8212; Onze mensen<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Fred kandidaat nummer 10 voor D66 Gorinchem GR2026.
