About

Hi, I'm an American, have lived most of my life abroad, pretty much all over the world, and have two daughters, one in the States, one teaching in Africa. I currently teach English in a college in the south of China, but am also an author, freelance editor, voice-over narrator, and have worked in translation-coordination and publishing here and there (mostly in Russia and India). Aside from photography, I spend a great deal of time doing volunteer work in character development.
Interests: photography, economic development, arning nguages, culture, social, music
