Who is Coen Geenen

For 18 years I was active as an international commercial hot air balloon pilot. Flying over the savannahs of Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, the castles and rivers of the Loire Valley, and the vineyards of the Côte d’Or in Beaune, France, gave me unforgettable perspectives. I also had the honor of drifting above the temples of Bagan in Myanmar, while my training took me through the skies of Andalusia in Spain and the wide landscapes of South Africa. Earlier in life I had already lived in Kenya and Canada – experiences that together shaped an extensive international outlook.

Alongside this journey, my lifelong fascination with automobiles has defined both my career and my passion. From an early age, I was captivated by the beauty, engineering, and diversity of cars. Studying Mechanical Engineering allowed me to refine this natural talent, and my curiosity for automotive technology has never faded – it continues to inspire me every day.

What excites me most are the many experiences a car can offer: the resonance of its engine, the harmony of mastering its mechanics on the road, the practicality of travel, or simply sharing a scenic drive with someone you love. Each journey reveals a new dimension of its character.

Driven by technical ambition, I find joy in the workshop – maintaining, refining, and restoring vehicles to their finest condition. These moments connect me deeply to what makes cars so extraordinary.

Because of this, I understand the owners who treasure their automobiles not merely as machines, but as trusted companions – symbols of freedom, emotion, and personal pride. My mission is to serve these enthusiasts by safeguarding their valuable investments with the same dedication and genuine passion they themselves feel.
