William Robert Brees

I originally became interested in Intellectual Property though my experience as a mechanical engineer, working in the field of research and development for a Tier 1 supplier in the automotive industry. I worked as a mechanical engineer for 13 years and was named as an inventor on 24 granted U.S. patents. After several meetings with patent attorneys for the preparation of some of the patent applications, I decided to go to law school. I continued to work during the day and earned my law degree and masters of law degree going to law school in the evenings. 

I am originally from Howell, N.J. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Kettering University in Flint, MI. After graduating from college I worked in Wooster, OH at LUK USA LLC for my entire career as an engineer. After graduating from The University of Akron School of Law in Akron, OH, I decided to move to St. Petersburg, FL for the sunshine, the beautiful beaches, and vibrant city. I have been extremely happy with the choice of St. Petersburg and don't plan on leaving.
