As president and founder of the firm and COO of Anticipat, a patent data company, I am no stranger to the challenges of starting new and innovative businesses—and the benefits of constantly innovating. My journey from starting the firm in half of my son’s bedroom to representing Fortune 500 and other publicly traded companies has been a blessed one. Along the way, my experiences have ranged from successfully issuing a software patent in 11 months using Track 1 examination to obtaining final rejection of a publicly traded conductive energy weapon company’s patent via ex parte reexamination. To date, I have written and been involved in the prosecution of hundreds of patents across the entire spectrum of technology.

I began my career as an inspired entrepreneur with a big idea. Starting a company isn’t easy, but I was surprised at how difficult it was to work with an attorney. I saw this as an opportunity and pivoted to pursue a career as a legal professional. After graduating from a top law school and working at respected Arizona firms, I co-founded Glide Legal. I’ve focused my career on providing legal counsel to entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes, from national corporations to local Arizona start-ups and family run businesses.. My approach is simple, to help you navigate your legal issues without standing in the way of business and innovation. Every business can benefit from having trusted legal counsel in their corner, and Glide Legal was built to be just that.. I enjoy the challenge of mastering a new craft. Beyond the practice of law, my obsessions include golfing, backpacking and exploring new places with my wife, and playing guitar/songwriting.
