Specialties

Intellectual Property Patent Patent Litigation Trademarks & Copyright

I'm an intellectual property attorney, which means I work hard to protect the ideas that you've worked hard to create.

My Approach

My job isn't just to get you a patent, it's to get you a good one. That means that I will get to know your invention and what is important to you, and then draft a document for you that protects what you value most. I strive to be efficient, clear, and concise.

More About Me

I graduated from Iowa State University with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering in 2000 and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering in 2002, specializing in communications and signal processing. I graduated from Drake University Law School with high honors and was admitted to the Iowa bar in 2010. After working in the patent departments of a couple of large agricultural companies, I started my own firm specializing in intellectual property law.
