Husband, Dad, & Patent Attorney. Whether I'm building LEGO prototypes with my kids or drafting claims, I’m driven to figure out how things work.
When I'm not working on patents or playing with my kids, I'm usually deep in a book or exploring the outdoors.

My kids got a ton of LEGOs for Christmas and they’re everywhere, especially underfoot! 🦶🧱 My wife showed me a video of new LEGO tech and I found IP for a mesh network where bricks use magnetic fields to "see" each other. I'm just hoping they use it for a self-evacuating brick that dodges my feet.

There are over 50 patents covering the diaper that the adorable model—my daughter Rose—is wearing in this picture!
In a competitive market like diapers, even a small adjustment—such as a millimeter difference—can result in a valuable patent.
