Since 1985, he has been translating a wide variety of texts between German and English. While in the Peace Corps in Tanzania, he learned Swahili and spoke it fluently. He has held a wide variety of jobs, including cab driver, assistant English teacher, computer programmer, and most recently IT manager. He has been an enthusiastic amateur linguist since high school.
