I freelance as a translator/interpreter and marketing consultant. I seek to add value through idiomatic, authentic language services that build confidence, inspire action, and speak to the heart.
A native speaker of American English, I grew up in the American heartland. At 19 years of age, I emigrated to Germany to establish a new life for myself as an atheist humanist. I perfected my German language skills, studied German and Amerikanistik, and specialized in translation, in keeping with my personal identity of cultural bothness.
Today I am a loving father of two, doing my best to live life on life's terms; I meditate daily (zazen), and am an avid reader, runner, and writer.
