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/editor of English texts, including business and technical texts.

I was born and grew up in the United States of America.

I received a Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Michigan Technological University, followed by a Master's degree in aerospace operations management from the University of Southern California.

Due to my work with the US government, I relocated to Wiesbaden, Germany. After this employment and because I wanted to continue to live, study, and work in Europe, I enrolled at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz where I studied business administration, economics, and management. After six semesters of study and approval of my doctor's thesis, I was awarded a doctor's degree (Dr.rer.pol.).

After receiving an employment offer from Switzerland, I moved there and worked as a project manager, university lecturer (Dozent), and as a project management trainer and coach.

For a Swiss patent attorney's office, I worked as a German-to-English translator of technical patents 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.
