Bio
I come from a background in remote facility operation, management and maintenance in both research and recreational contexts. I am fluent in the repair and upkeep of a wide range of mechanical equipment from lawnmowers to heavy farm equipment. I also well versed in all aspects of facilities upkeep from carpentry to plumbing and electrical. Since much of my career has been based at remote sites I am well versed in all manner of alternative and conventional energy generations systems. Many of the places where I work are often days from a hospital, so I have been trained as an emergency first responder and have taken a variety of OSHA workplace safety courses.

When not on-contract with a research institution, I use my time to travel to near & far-flung corners of the world (and write about them). These trips have exposed me to a wealth of people and perspectives. It has also cultured my interest in linguistics. My language skills come from my self-directed university studies in writing and Italian language. I have been visiting, living and working in Italy since 1997.

As a member of the Eighty South Translation Group, I concern myself mostly with revision, post-editing and QA. I also manage our glossaries and TMs and deploy our translation hardware and software.
