Whether it\'s evaluating patents, shaping IP strategies, or tackling IP roadblocks, I thrive on problem-solving—bringing both technical expertise and a forward-thinking \"big picture\" approach to every challenge.Before transitioning into the legal sector, I earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Milwaukee School of Engineering, giving me a strong foundation in technology and innovation. Prior to that, I served 10 years in the U.S. Air Force, where I worked on aircraft maintenance and inspection on multiple large airframes (C-17, C-5, KC-135, and KC-10) and participated in multiple operations through various deployments.Through every stage of my career—engineering, military service, and intellectual property—I’ve been passionate about problem solving.Let’s connect!
