Together with my wife Sonja (1949) I live in Ohé en Laak, a small village in Limburg, in the South of The Netherlands. We have been married in 1969 and have two children, a son Mario jr. (1971) and a daughter Barbara (1975), and four grandchildren.

We own four dogs now (not for breeding or going to shows, just as a hobby): two Airedale Terriers (Phaenna and Saphyra), and two Irish Terriers (Aphaia and Ophelia).
