About David
Biography
18 years ago I started my career as an engineer in the field of manufacturing and design engineering in the automotive and major home appliance industries. For a number of reasons I felt that going to law school and transitioning into a patent attorney was the right move for me. I have now been practicing for six years, and thoroughly enjoy developing professional relationships with clients, allowing them to share their innovations with me, and protecting their legal interests.
