About Me<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a Colorado native and IP Attorney with over 20 years of experience practicing intellectual property and technology law in the Denver area. With a foundation in electrical engineering and computer science from the Colorado School of Mines, alongside a J.D. from the University of Denver, I build and protect brands and technologies through robot patent and trademark portfolios. Throughout my career, I have specialized in helping organizations safeguard their innovations, manage risk, and scale their IP assets in fast-moving industries like telecommunications, AI, cloud computing, automotive parts, and content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I step away from the legal world, my focus shifts to a lifelong passion for sports and collecting. I am an avid collector of sports figures, sports cards, bobbleheads, Simpsons memorabilia, and Lego. My love for sports collectibles leans heavily toward hometown favorites like the Colorado Rockies, Denver Nuggets, Denver Broncos and Colorado Avalanche. Beyond the local teams, I am an avid collectors of baseball cards featuring Andre Dawson, Tony Gwynn and Ken Griffey Jr. To channel this passion and connect with the broader community, I maintain Collectors Network<\/strong>, a dedicated information site primarily directed at Starting Lineups, bobbleheads and other sports figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Lego hobby often merges with my engineering roots, involving large and intricate custom builds, including large towers, outdoor scenes, and sports venues. Lego provides both a creative outlet, and a chance to share this passion for building with my children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
