Before attending law school, I worked as an engineer at different companies in Elkhart, IN and Auburn Hills, MI.  A majority of my time as an engineer was dedicated to automotive sensor design and manufacturing.  I designed and collaborated on injection molding, test hardware, magnetic modeling, product development, and Hall effect sensor design.  I have worked with smart actuators, including magnetic sensor design, embedded software, test hardware design, and change implementation.  While working full time, I attended law school from 2006-2009, passed the Indiana Bar Exam in 2009, and passed the USPTO agency exam in 2010.. My 19+ years as an engineer and hands-on experiences in product development gives me a unique perspective to the patent application process.  Part of the patent application process involves anticipating a competitor's design-around attempts, something I've been tasked with as an engineer.. My hobbies include classic car restoration (I'm a sucker for 60's and 70's GM convertibles), general automotive repair, home improvement, and audio.  In my spare time, I've rebuilt engines and transmissions, painted cars, and repaired salvage vehicles.  For her high school and college vehicle, my daughter and I took two totalled vehicles and combined them into one.
