Bio
I am a Canadian and lived and worked in Sweden as a translator (Swedish to English) and writer for 16 years (1974-1990). During that time I worked for companies such as Saab, Volvo, Atlas Copco, SAS airlines on-board magazine (for which I also acted as editor) and many more. I also did voice-over one of which was for a SAS on-board film.
I was the head translator for the Wasa museum, for instance, for two years.
I also translated most types of documents for companies throughout Sweden including technical manuals, business documents, restaurant menus, boat catalogues, the Swedish Tobacco Act, and much more besides. I translated the autobiography of then SAS chief executive Jan Carlzon - Moments of Truth.
I worked with Saab on the catalogue for the Saab 9000.
A number of major and mid-range corporations used me to translate their annual reports as well as other reports.
I wrote for the wire services, twice covering the Nobel Prizes. I was also the Scandinavian foreign correspondent for the Columbia Radio Network for two years. MacLean’s magazine is Canada’s Time magazine and I worked as their correspondent in Sweden.
We moved to Canada and I continued to translate from there. However, I was hired as the PR director for a major professional sports team. I handled all the writing and editorial work. I expanded into other businesses including copywriting, creating website content and writing news releases for a wide range of different companies.
