His practice includes workers’ compensation litigation, plaintiff and defense civil litigation, intellectual property litigation, patent, trademark and copyright prosecution, federal criminal law, tort law, and insurance matters. He entered law after a career in science and engineering, bringing technical training to disputes and intellectual property matters that can involve detailed scientific, industrial, or engineering issues.

He later graduated from the University of Wyoming College of Law in 2006. Before law school, he worked as a chemist and scientist at Department of Energy sites and held roles as an explosives chemist and electrophotographic engineer. That technical education and industry experience provide a strong foundation for intellectual property and technically complex litigation.
