This is just a little about my background (identification theives, please turn back now).

                                          
        
Fordham Preparatory School (Bronx, NY)
I went to Fordham Preparatory School in the Bronx, but lived in Westchester, NY. Every day, I would spend 40 minutes on the train going to school on the Metro North Railway (and 40 minutes coming back). Take what you will from it, but I was a prepster growing up.
   



Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA)
I majored in Electrical and Computer Engineering and minored in both Fim and Media Studies and Business Administration. I ended up graduating 6 months early (December 2000) in order to get a jump start on the working world. However, I ended up having one of the best senior years ever as I stayed at CMU well into the Spring semester (late February) and partied hard the entire time.

   
Pi Kappa Alpha
Basically, Pika made me ... me. I really came into my own while being a Pike and used my time here to the fullest. To put everything in perspective, Carnegie Mellon would be a hell hole without a fraternity system. There is nothing within a good mile of campus and the only place to socialize in this primarily foreign school is on the fraternity quad. I guess that is why CMU not only has the largest amount of foreign students in the U.S., but also the largest amount of greeks (I think its something like 28 percent while foreign students are at 52%).
   



New York Law School - Evening Division
I went to law school, at night, at New York Law School.

   




FISH & NEAVE IP GROUP
OF ROPES AND GRAY

 Fish & Neave IP Group of Ropes & Gray
While I was going to NYLS at night, I worked at Fish & Neave during the day as a registered patent agent. Put simply, Fish & Neave is the best intellectual property lawfirm in the U.S. (just check the rankings if you don't believe me). The original IP lawfirm, Fish & Neave represented greats like the Wright Brothers, Bell, Edison, and Ford. Fish & Neave is also responsible for the largest IP judgment of all time and the largest IP settlement of all time. On January 1, 2005, the 125 year old Fish & Neave merged with Boston's Ropes & Gray and now practices as the Fish & Neave IP Group of Ropes & Gray.
