Bio

I came to Tokyo in 1985. After graduating from the American School in Japan I went to UC Berkeley, where I majored in Japanese. In 1993 I went to Nasu in northern Tochigi. There I taught and translated for the town’s schools and government. Since 1996 I have translated and edited at Japan Echo Inc., and since 2001 I have taught translation at Simul Academy. Other translation work of mine has included _Dr. Noguchi’s Journey_, a biography of Noguchi Hideyo published in 2005.
