About

I played professional hockey for 10 years in various parts of the globe. When I retired from hockey I co-founded The Linguist Institute. Our first project was thelinguist.com which, at the time, was an online system for learning English. As of August 07, we launched a new system and language learning community at www.LingQ.com teaching multiple languages. Our goal is to create the best language learning environment available. Specialties: project management, user interface design, software design, web marketing, copy writing
