I am an intellectual property attorney and entrepreneur with a biotechnology background supported by more than a decade of academic research in physiology and neuroscience. Having worked in highly technical areas, I've interacted with recognized experts in a wide variety of fields and disciplines as mentors, professors, witnesses and consultants. In each situation, my job has been to understand, integrate, and communicate multiple complex concepts within the context of a single coherent research proposal, theory of the case or business plan. I co-founded GROUT—a creative entrepreneurial platform that applies those skills to support and develop the bold projects of emerging thought leaders who aim to create value, community and impact in novel ways.
