More information

My name is Xavier Decoster. My childhood dream was to become a pilot for the Belgian Air Force but after spending 2 years at the Royal Military Academy I was forced to change plans for medical reasons. Aviation is still a passion of mine, but so is technology and science! I studied New Media and Communication Technology, and graduated magna cum laude from the Technical University of Kortrijk in 2007.
