I’m John Keenan, founder of Fidelis Language Group. I’m a Spanish–English interpreter and translator with a background in military service, federal operations, and high-stakes communication environments where accuracy, discretion, and professionalism are non-negotiable.

My path into language services was shaped by real-world experience, not just academic study. I served alongside linguists and interpreters in operational settings, which gave me a deep respect for the role language plays in decision-making, trust, and outcomes. That experience continues to inform how I approach interpretation and translation today: carefully, ethically, and with a strong awareness of context.

I specialize in professional Spanish–English language services for legal, medical, government, and institutional clients. My work emphasizes clarity, cultural competence, and adherence to industry best practices. I am committed to ongoing professional development and formal training in interpretation and translation, ensuring that my services meet rigorous standards and evolve with client needs.

Fidelis Language Group was founded to provide dependable, mission-focused language support to organizations that cannot afford misunderstandings. Whether supporting individuals in sensitive situations or institutions operating under regulatory and operational constraints, my goal is the same: deliver accurate communication that holds up under scrutiny.

Based in Virginia, I serve clients locally and remotely, with a focus on long-term partnerships built on trust, preparation, and results.
