Intellectual property litigator with over 25 years of business experience, including management of investment and insurance companies, taxation, compliance, business formation, portfolio management, and derivatives trading. Prior to law school, founded and managed a limited partnership commodity pool. Managed all aspects of the business including compliance, taxes, marketing, reporting, and creating and implementing automated futures trading strategies. Beat the EAFE international equity benchmark 10 out of 13 years with 290 basis points of annualized excess return to investors after fees.In addition to managing the hedge fund, I taught physics part-time at Wisconsin Lutheran College as an adjunct professor. I also have prior experience as the Chief Actuary for Florida Select, a Florida homeowners insurance company, and as a Vice President of Underwriting for Bermuda-based Centre Reinsurance. At Centre Re I focused on company-wide risk management via derivatives and hurricane and earthquake damage modeling. In my free time I enjoy cycling in the summer and snowshoeing in the winter. I used to race bikes (Bermuda road race silver medalist, Illinois Category 3 Champion, Wisconsin Road Race Masters Champion) but after one too many broken bones, I now prefer social, group rides.
