A desire for challenge brought me to Apex, where we represent corporate and non-profit clients and help them navigate intricate legal problems facing newly formed and growing companies. I come to Apex with over 25 years of international business experience where I focused on issues involving intellectual property, regulatory compliance, general business counsel, and business development.  My experience has shown me that legal issues are unique to each client, their competitive and regulatory environment, as well as the goals and objectives of the company.. Over the past decade, I have been very involved in the craft beverage community and operate a craft business incubator where I support the launch of small businesses that are passion projects, second careers, or investment opportunities for my clients. Having also launched several companies of my own, I understand the concerns of small business owners because I have lived them.
