Bio

Video game developer. Scuba diver. Music geek. Motivator & hopeless enthusiast. Loves traveling, sailing, writing scripts, a good ale and directing voice recording sessions. Previously active as a TED translator and language coordinator, currently unavailable due to no internet.

I'm passionate about

composting, seasonal food, scuba diving, a healthy marine environment, wildlife

An idea worth spreading

Learn to cook, eat with the seasons, use ingredients you recognize and compost your food scraps. Replace plastic bags with paper and recycled home made cloth bags. And: Go diving!

Areas of expertise

localization, scuba diving, translation, Writing and Editing

The TED story

"What's this magical portal that's suggesting children have been raised in a wrong way, that we should refocus our lives with a respect for the rest of the world and that's showing me fantastic videos of guys diving with home-made rebreathers and life some miles under the sea?", and then: "Oh hey, my mom should watch this, but she doesn't speak the langua--- wait a minute." And that's when i joined the OTP, back in the days, when we still subtitled by sticking strips of paper underneath the screen.
