On this episode of When Can You Start, we hear from Kip Opperman. Kip is an interpreter and American Sign Language professor at Ithaca College. As a hearing person not knowing anything about deaf culture, Kip found his first job working at the New York State School for the Deaf in their housing department. There he learned sign language from the students, opening his eyes up to where he would eventually find his career. While his career is winding towards retirement, you can still find Kip playing with his band True Blue around the Upstate New York area!
