In the 1990s he moved to Malta, introduced The Urantia Book to numerous individuals, hosted a study group for twelve years, and continued to attend the Begemann's study group when he was in the Netherlands. He is still hosting study groups in France where he now lives.

Henk studied at Delft Technical University in Holland. After graduating from Delft he worked in the petrochemical industry in Asia, Europe, and North and South America. He was a Sloan Fellow in the 1971-1972 Executive Program of the Stanford University Graduate School of Business where he obtained his Masters in Business.
