About Me

My name is Bruce Turner. My native language is English and my second language is German.

I am an experienced translator of German texts into English and proofreader and editor of English texts, including business and technical texts.

I was born and grew up in the United States of America. At a young age I became very interested in radio communications and electronics, and I became an amateur radio operator while growing up in Michigan. Later, I studied electronics and radio communication, then worked as electronic engineer for the US government in Germany. While working in Germany, I also studied operations and project management with a US school. At a German school I studied the German language and business administration.

After receiving an employment offer from Switzerland, I moved there and worked as a project manager and course instructor for project management. I also translated Swiss technical patents written in German into English for a Swiss patent attorney's office for patent applications in the United States. See Reference Nr 1.

Since I enjoy the work of translating, editing, and proofreading, I continue to work as a German-to-English translator and as a proofreader/editor of English texts for companies, organizations, and individuals.
