After several years at the USPTO, Nick transitioned to the private sector where he leverages his insider’s knowledge of the USPTO to effectively draft patent applications, persuasively communicate with patent examiners, and successfully advocate for client innovations.
In his spare time, Nick enjoys golfing, racquetball, and spending time with his young son and wonderful wife.
