I have edited many English-language medical articles by Japanese authors for publication. My novel about the German occupation of the Channel Islands, War on the Margins, is published by Duckworth.

I have worked as a translator, journalist, and editor in a variety of capacities since 1991. As a translator, I have worked on materials ranging from a political science works about Prime Minister Koizumi (Routledge, 2009), to a history of Japanese diplomacy (JPIC, 2022), to a company history of Hitachi; from urban planning documents for various municipalities in the Kansai region to quality control materials for an automobile manufacturer; and from marketing materials and annual reports to tourism and museum brochures.

My journalism experience includes four years at a trade magazine covering the amusement machine business, one year at a Japanese newspaper, and two-and-a-half years as a general news reporter for the Associated Press. I have written about everything from video games and stock market crashes to Japanese election campaigns and people who restore old houses. I also edited a political science and international affairs journal for five years, and just to round out the picture am also completing a dissertation in modern Japanese history for the University of California, Berkeley.

For fun, I write music and play guitar in indie rock bands.  I also like to explore Tokyo by bicycle and investigate new cookbooks.

A native of Michigan, I have lived in Japan for over three decades. I taught in the Japanese school system for much of that time, doing translation on the side, while raising three children in a traditional extended family household.

I write poetry too, including haiku and “tanka.” I’ve won some awards for it, and had some poems published. I’ve also contributed articles about Japanese customs to a website.
In my spare time I love to go hiking in the mountains and take photos of wild flowers and so on.
