As a veteran of over 19 years of professional and free-lance translation, interpretation, and general production of English and Persian Farsi material, I am a highly proficient and capable linguist.My craft, talent, and accumulated knowledge of literature, science, and technology, together with my experience from 40 years of life in the U.S. including 20 years of service in the U. S. Army, have helped me, and continue to do so, tremendously in my careers as a military and civilian language instructor.I teach Farsi to adults very effectively, with high caliber and quality. I consistently receive very positive end of course critiques from successful students who praise my “high level” of proficiency, "native-level" of fluency in English, and how “perfectly” I can explain in clear and well-articulated terms those complex linguistic concepts that they have found to be challenging. For research work, I maintain a personally funded Language Training website, PFVitamins.com, and also under a unique alias (not mentioned here for security and other considerations) which channels and exalts the esoteric essence conceptualized in classic Persian poetry with deference to wine and mysticism, I run a website and also maintain a literary presence in other popular Farsi language blogging and social media to maintain my linguistic skills, while allowing me to keep abreast of the current events and prevailing social, cultural, and political moods, trends, and currents, which all, I believe, have linguistic implications. In conclusion, if you are looking for someone who operates at a highly educated level; especially one who understands the subtleties and fine points in both languages that other linguists miss or can not articulate, you need to look no further than me. I am always interested in considering worthwhile ideas and efforts. Last but not least, though I rather affect from within the ranks, I am an effective leader and an inspiring motivator.
