He has been a driving force that has enabled Para-Plus to become one of the fastest growing companies and one of the most successful translation and interpretation services in the Greater Philadelphia area. He’s done it by helping his clients to bridge communication gaps and give voice to those who do not speak, read or write English or other languages. More than this, he has a deep commitment to educating clients about the importance of foreign language and business translation and interpretation services in today’s multi-cultural, multi-lingual marketplace.”
