Bio
As per client needs, I will also translate from English into any of my target languages. I am a grammarian by nature, so proofreading comes very easilly to me. I maintain my languages through reading newspapers and books as well as constant communication with family, friends, and associates in Europe and the Middle East.

I am accustomed to providing timely and precise translations thanks to my time and training in the military. To produce less to my current clients would be uncivilized and I take far too much pride in myself and in my work to give less than my clients deserve. If you need a translation done quickly, accurately, and that includes good grammar, then I am your man. I keep my prices fair to both my clients and myself and am at the point now where I can comfortably welcome new business.

I have been fortunate in that have I made many and frequent trips to various countries in the Middle East and Europe and I am willing to go back at any time should my clients require it. I lived in Spain for 4 years and thoroughly enjoyed emersing myself in the language and the culture.
