About Me

You hate to tell people that you stumbled into your profession, but in truth, I did. I am fortunate that I landed just where I belonged.

I started out planning to be a doctor, and did quite a bit of work towards becoming a medical practitioner. You will see my published studies on my bio because sometimes my clients enjoy "nerding" out with me on my research topics. But as time went on, I became really interested not only in the research itself, but how good ideas get into production, and the various licensing and tech agreements that bring those good ideas into fruition.

In a nutshell, I see developing, collaborating on, and sharing technology and data as key ingredients in our society's ability to turn good ideas into a better life for all. Now, I'm just doing my part!
