I enjoy the many aspects of digitization and documentary editing. ·        I try as much as I can to make my co-workers jobs easier. ·        I am a published author (without a notable degree of success) with several books that I am currently trying to write or edit. I consider myself to be a competent wordsmith. ·        Audio-editing is another passion I enjoy.

·        I am focused. ·        I am goal oriented. ·        I am good with details. ·        I try to learn from my mistakes.

Activities

For a short while I taught English online with a Chinese company called Qkids, but it was so short that it did not seem right to add it to my resume. While I have not taught any college classes, I have taught many college students, and my teaching experience goes back more than 20 years.

 

My hobbies include playing the piano, guitar and accordion (I am nowhere near professional, but it is fun:), playing Sudoku, cooking, traveling, listening to and trying to create audiobooks, listening to Audioverse, gardening and very specific occasional video games.
