I have been a Patent Agent since early 2002, although I continued in my main career as a technology executive until 2007-2008, when I started a transition to my “third act” – a career in patent law practice., I have been a CEO of a small technology firm and a CTO at two large public software companies, as well as a chief engineer of a nuclear warship. I have a degree in Biochemistry from Harvard, and a Masters in Physics from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.
