About J
Biography
I have followed a unique career path, giving me a keen understanding of the true value of intellectual property. Initially a chemist, with 30 years in the industry and numerous patents, I pursued licensing these patents to companies around the world. To facilitate the licensing strategy, I attended Marquette's Law School, receiving my JD in 2008.
