I am a registered patent attorney (Registration Number 55,670) specializing in patent preparation and prosecution in a wide variety of technical areas, including: telecommunications, computer networking, computer gaming, semiconductors, fiber optics, aerospace, homeland security, medical systems and devices, and software.
My clients include large, mid-size, and small corporations, and many individual inventors.
I received my J.D., summa cum laude, from the University of Richmond School of Law in 2004, where I served as Managing Editor of the University of Richmond Law Review and was a member of the McNeill Law Honor Society. I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering, with a minor in Biomedical Engineering, from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1987. I am admitted to practice in Virginia and before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Prior to law school, I worked for GE for 13 years in the areas of computer numerical control, drives systems, and factory automation. While at GE, I was trained as a Black Belt in GE's renowned Six Sigma quality initiative, a data-driven methodology for eliminating defects in any process. I was a nationally registered Paramedic, with over 15 years experience as an emergency medical service volunteer.
