About me

I was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. After graduating from Simon Fraser University with a B.A. in Political Science, I made my way to Japan and worked at a number of Universities and private high schools around Tokyo. In 2002 and 2003 I participated in the DHC translation contest and in both contests was one of the runner ups for the top prize. In 2002 I also won the Daily Yomiyuri translation contest twice. In 2003 I began to work as a Japanese-to-English translator. In addition, I obtained the FITT diploma in international trade. I also have a strong interest in trading and investing and actively manage my own portfolio of investments - including stocks, bonds and options.

I am currently residing in Tokyo, Japan.

As time has gone on I have moved from strength to strength expanding my translation portfolio. As a translator, I have working knowledge in areas of business, marketing and finance, manufacturing, construction, real estate and the energy industry.
