About Me

My name is Bruce Turner. I was born and grew up in the USA and am a native English speaker. I have also lived, studied, and worked for many years in Germany and Switzerland. German is my second language, which I have spoken, written and used for many years. In the United States, I received a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan, followed by a Master's degree in Aerospace Operations Management from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California.

After working briefly in Germany for the US government as a civilian electronic engineer for high-frequency radio communication systems in Europe, I decided to continue to live, study, and work in Europe. I therefore enrolled at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, studied business administration, economics, and management, wrote a dissertation, passed the oral exam, and received a Dr. rer. pol. doctor's degree (PhD). After this, I moved to Switzerland after receiving a job offer.

In Switzerland, I worked as a lecturer and guest lecturer for business and management courses at Swiss universities, universities of applied sciences ("Fachhochschulen") and at Swiss business and technical schools, including the Bern University of Applied Sciences, the City University (European Programs), the EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), the European University, the Geneva Business School, TEKO (Swiss Technical School), and the Universities of Bern and Fribourg.

I also worked as a project manager and project management trainer and coach, and as an English translator of German texts and English proofreader for individuals, organizations, and companies. I have many years of experience as an English translator of German texts and English proofreader. I am a Swiss citizen.
