Jeff's Story
Life
Greetings from the Great White North (of Norway)!
Hobby
Check out my new YouTube playlist featuring 4K drone videos shot on and in the shipping lane that goes past our little island in Northern Norway - BOLGA!
The playlist is called BOLGA DRONE VIDEOS
so look me up on YouTube!
College
I'm proud to say that I "did" two years of the UC Education Abroad Program: 1983-84 in Norway and 1985-86 in France. They were two of the best years of my life! I would highly recommend anyone who is even slightly interested in learning a foreign language to just pack their bags and go for it!
Workplace
Update SEPTEMBER 2021: I still mainly do translation assignments via my website at mclean.no - exclusively from Norwegian to English - as my chief source of work. I have also taught foreign languages (English!, Spanish and French) on the High School and Middle School levels. My specialty is translating screenplays and related docs into English.
(Older ) Update OCT 2010: I did a stint as a Salmon Fish Farm...Expand for more
er at the aquaculture facility based here on Bolga. Very interesting work and a great way to get/stay in shape! I have now returned to work as a freelance translator on a full-time basis because I like being my own BOSS! Oh, yeah. ;-)
(Older ) Update JUNE 2015: Time she is a flyin' and these past five years really zipped by. I'm still doing freelance translation work. My favorite type of assignment is translating film scripts and doing subtitling work as it really allows me to use my imagination and creativity when re-creating a scene in English. Otherwise, my four kids are growing into some awesome young folks. They are all bilingual and speak Norwegian and English (American) fluently.
So, life is basically good over here in Norway. I hope all my old classmates are enjoying good health and a stress-free, happy existence.
P.S. I really wish I could be over in the States for the upcoming multi-class reunion for CVHS Classes of '78-'79-'80, and hope you all have a great time. :-)
See ya!
Jeff
