My name is Nick, and I’m a patent lawyer. I like building beautiful things. And patents are no exception. I never considered a patent to be a purely legal instrument. It’s a story. How you found the problem. How you found the solution. How you’ll save the world. Whether you’re starting a new story or continuing your epic, let me tell you mine.

I started my career as a software engineer. I love programming. I still do it today. But I felt boxed because I was removed from the written word. I missed reading, writing, and being persuasive. So within a year, I started the evening program at law school. I gave up four years of evenings and weekends, gaining a discipline that I could have never found on my own. And for the next 9 years, I worked as a patent lawyer at a Fortune 500. But I still wanted to build my way. And here we are, building beautiful things…my way.
