About

I’m David George Rich, a language professional dedicated to clear, effective communication across cultures. I run language services in a cross-border setup between Portland and Budapest, offering teaching, writing, editing, translating, and voice acting for a diverse clientele including universities, government offices, and corporations. I’ve built and led language projects that connect people with precise, engaging language and thoughtful storytelling.

Over the years I’ve established two language-services companies, collaborated with institutions like the University of Miskolc and the Hungarian National Translation Office, and taught English and German for thousands of hours. I’m passionate about sharing knowledge, supporting sustainable practices, and helping conversations move forward with accuracy and empathy.
