I am passionate about helping early-stage companies with growth, financing, and intellectual property. I have 30 years of experience practicing law, specializing in intellectual property law. Specific areas of national recognition include patenting software inventions in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning. My education includes a BSEE from Drexel University (1983); MSE from University of Pennsylvania (1985); and a JD from Temple University School of Law (1990).

In addition, I’ve been an active angel investor and advisor to startup companies. In the early-stage investment arena, I have extensive experience in both leading and participating in due diligence teams. I currently serve on the advisory boards of quite a few early-stage companies.
