I founded Gr8BigIdeas to empower entrepreneurs, startups, and innovative companies to protect their ideas through effective patent strategies.
As a registered US Patent Agent with over 26 years of experience, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and entrepreneurial insight. My background as an electrical engineer with embedded systems and software specialization has shaped my ability to tackle complex patent challenges.
My entrepreneurial journey includes raising over $120 million in funding and achieving a successful NASDAQ exit. I invented a wireless cashless payment technology, now widely adopted. Following my startup success, I joined Coca-Cola R&D, where I led groundbreaking innovations like the Coca-Cola Freestyle dispenser. Later, I expanded Coca-Cola’s open innovation program, scouting cutting-edge technologies to meet global business needs.
Throughout my career, I’ve been a prolific inventor, holding more than 115 US patents across various industries. You can explore my full list of patents here.
Today, I work from an innovation lab outside Atlanta, partnering with entrepreneurs and startups to draft and prosecute patents that safeguard their inventions. Let’s discuss how I can help protect your big idea—contact me today.
