| Checked in | eski "Serving the Global Online Community" Mexico Native in English , Spanish Freelancer and outsourcer | Interested in: meeting clients, meeting collaborators, finding translators Bio: Born in New York City, I'm a native English speaker-although Spanish is a close "second"- having spoken it at home all my life.
I grew up in south Florida, where I eventually became a Zoning Administrator in the City of Coral Gables during the mid-eighties. Having ini...tially studied architecture and construction technology at New York City College and Miami Dade College, I later attended The School of Government while majoring in Architectural Technology at Florida International University. Toward the end of the eighties, I was offered a position in the editorial department of Selecciones de Reader's Digest (that produces the various Latin American editions of Reader's Digest) in Mexico City as a language and computer instructor for the editors, including the Magazine Editor at that time, Mr. Audon Corria.
From this initial venture, I was also invited to be one of the in-house translators for the editorial staff, and participated in translating materials published in the magazine.
Shortly thereafter, I initiated a firm offering language instruction and professional translating services located in the Polanco area of Mexico City, with a small, young, but very experienced staff of collaborators, attending the needs of executive professionals in several important firms, including Banca Somex, Ford Motor Company, Reader's Digest, Levi's de Mexico and others. Because of my background in architecture and construction, I eventually participated in some interesting projects in different parts of Mexico, which brought me into contact with some important personalities including Mexico's President.
From these contacts, I became involved in negotiating and translating construction and other types of contracts for several large firms involved in large investments in the Tourism sector, as well as translating documents to set up bank trusts, and many other documents for contractors, architects, and (foreign) property owners investing in Mexican beachfront properties.
At the same time, I formed a business with a friend who was a general contractor, and was involved in the construction industry for over 20 years in Acapulco, where I now reside with my wife. In 2003, I was injured while inspecting a renovation and was forced to retire from active (physical) participation in construction.
As of the spring of 2000, I have been involved in freelance translation from my home office in Acapulco.More Less Message: May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two;
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you:
...And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

...
Due to my experience in different sectors, I do not only know how companies operate and work, I also have a clear insight into the non-profit and development sector. These different experiences made me understand different corporate cultures, where I learnt to work under high pressure. This is a great asset in my actual job.
