How I help.
01
When complex matters stretch capacity
Flexible support for law firms that need senior-level patent and technical analysis over an extended matter or phase.
I help legal teams add litigation-tested depth without hiring, overstaffing, or pulling attorneys away from higher-value strategy.
02
When deadlines compress
Targeted support when a patent matter needs focused analysis on a tight timeline.
I run infringement, non-infringement, invalidity, prior art, and expert-related issues to ground and turn the analysis into clear work product.
03
Before legal spend expands
For investors and acquirers evaluating whether a company’s tech and IP story holds up.
I identify what appears sturdy, where risk may sit, and where outside counsel should focus next as diligence moves forward.
04
Before investor scrutiny
For technology companies preparing to explain and tighten the tech and IP story before scrutiny.
I identify where the portfolio aligns with the business and what should be tightened before the next critical conversation.
Trial preparation and theme development
in a complex litigation involving counterclaims, an extensive factual record, and more than 12 experts.
Portfolio analysis and patent assertion
in a competitor dispute where patent selection affected leverage and settlement posture.
Infringement, non-infringement, and invalidity theory development
across about 20 U.S. District Court patent litigation matters.
Experience that informs the work.
Prior art identification and analysis
in matters spanning inter partes review, U.S. District Court cases, and licensing matters.
Coordination of patent analysis teams
in a large pre-litigation patent licensing project.
Litigation, licensing, settlement, and strategic decision support
across more than thirteen years of patent litigation and IP analysis work.
Calm judgment for complex work.
I am a USPTO-registered patent professional with a PhD in materials chemistry and more than thirteen years of experience supporting patent litigation, inter partes review, pre-litigation analysis, prior art development, and patent portfolio review.
I enjoy tackling challenging problems, focusing on details, and seeing tasks through to completion. I played sports through college, built research-grade semiconductor processing equipment in graduate school, and maintain a hands-on, problem-solver mindset outside of work.
This approach shapes my professional work. I am trusted to handle under-developed technical and patent issues independently and synthesize my findings into thorough, easily understandable outputs.
I live in the Kansas City area with my wife and four children.
