Martin Dekkers

Martin was a Banker for 45 years before retiring …so finance jobs come naturally. He has been working as a volunteer for many non-profit organizations even longer than he was a Banker…so volunteering comes naturally too. His other passions are travel and photography. Martin is also passionate about the whole food plant-based lifestyle because it has made such a positive difference in his health. The only downside is not enough people know the power of plants….a secret that needs to be shared! In that vein Martin is excited to be part of Lifestyle Solutions Healthy Planet Inc.
