9. Bio and Experience
Daryl Crouse, JD, CI, CT
Tel: (562) 453-7180 Mobile
E-mail: daryl@darylcrouse.com
I have been interpreting for over fifteen years. I served as website
committee chair for two affiliate chapters. I am also the creator of
TerpLink.com, the first professional networking website for sign
language interpreters
I developed and deployed a custom database implementation of an
open source membership management system for one RID affiliate
chapter.
I previously owned an interpreting service firm and founded the first
interpreter owned telephone company.
Recently I graduated from law school and now focus my efforts on
assisting entrepreneurs and non-profits seeking to engage with
customers and members in creative ways through technology.
I live in Long Beach, California with my partner, Charlie and our three
dogs. I would enjoy the opportunity to support NYC Metro RID’s effort to
connect and reconnect with students, members, and the greater
community.
