After working at the United States Patent Office as a Patent Examiner for over five years, finishing four years of law school at night, and completing a clerkship for the US Board of Patent Appeals, I desired to start my practice. At the time, members of my family thought I was a little too ambitious to leave a great government job. Since that time, my business has taken me across the globe. I have met so many interesting people, as innovators tend to be, from individual inventors to CEOs of large companies. It has been a great experience, both professionally and personally. Every day I am grateful I left my government position to start this practice. I am excited now my practice has expanded to include a Tampa office.
