Career highlights: Prior to serving Bay State and in light of running a solo patent practice, my most fulfilling position immediately followed the 2007-2008 financial crisis, serving a nonprofit housing counseling agency that saw tremendous success helping millions of families on the brink and restoring stability to faltering communities across the nation.
Community involvement: I am a Community Reinvestment Act Officer at Bay State and participate alongside my colleagues in our many community endeavors.
