My name is Lucas Carson. I was born and raised in Everett, Washington. I moved to Bellevue after graduating from Everett Community College. After working in security for a few years, I decided to look into a different career path. I had recently gotten re-interested in anime and thought about learning Japanese. I had always wanted to learn, but never knew how to start. I started learning using apps on my iPod touch and gradually learned more and more from there. Eventually, I started reading books, and then practiced a conversation until I got to the point that I could understand words and sentences. It was hard work to get to the point of actually becoming a translator, but now that I have reached this point, I have absolutely no regrets.
