I bring thirty years of legal experience in commercial transactions and litigation to my Nantucket practice.

Prior to practicing law on-island, I was a professor in the Law & Entrepreneurship Clinic at the University of Wisconsin Law School. I supervised students advising inventors, founders, startups and early stage companies. I also taught a course in intellectual property licensing. I’ve been an adjunct professor at the University of Toronto, where I taught a course in software licensing and commercialization.

Prior to joining the UW faculty, I spent two years as a legal subject matter expert at a Toronto startup building an AI-driven legal technology platform.  I worked with a team of machine learning engineers to train and test algorithms designed to engage in sophisticated legal analysis and replicate lawyers' workflows.  

Before working at a startup, I spent over twenty years in private practice in New York specializing in intellectual property transactions and litigation. I have been lead counsel in state and federal courts throughout the United States and have represented clients in complex negotiations in the United States and Canada.

While in law school, I served as Editor in Chief of the Brooklyn Journal of International Law.  I began my legal career as law clerk to United States District Judge John T. Curtin. 

Before my legal career I was a consultant and journalist in the computer industry.
