I am delighted to write a note on the consistently excellent translation work you have done for me over the past fourteen years – the product descriptions for Maier Sport and Deuter, the press releases for Marmot, the various essays for the Mammut anniversary book, but most notably your work on my behalf for Jack Wolfskin. It’s been a pleasure to have you on the team and I wish you every success with your current venture.
