Overview

Jason turns innovative ideas into enforceable patents.

He offers extensive experience across a broad range of technologies, developed during his three years as a patent engineer at a national law firm, where he primarily worked with large companies on complex innovations. His work spanned automotive systems, as well as heavy machinery and industrial equipment. He also handled pump motors, consumer equipment, and select software-related inventions. In addition, he provided litigation and trademark support, gaining a well-rounded perspective on intellectual property matters. Now as a patent agent, Jason prepares and prosecutes applications before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), responds to office actions, and is qualified to sign applications and handle appeals before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).

Jason takes a collaborative, detail-oriented approach to his work. He partners closely with supervising attorneys to understand project goals, using that guidance to deliver successful outcomes. Drawing on his engineering background, he hones in on the aspects of an invention that may be truly novel to provide meaningful protection—whether they be game-changing innovations or improvements that make processes faster, easier, or more efficient. Skilled at asking the right questions and clarifying complex concepts, he consistently earns positive feedback for his insight and perspective. Focused on securing comprehensive protection, Jason is dedicated to translating inventors’ ideas into precise and effective patent language.

Jason discovered his technical aptitude in a high school electronics program, where a teacher recognized his talent and encouraged him to pursue the field. As an undergraduate, he helped revive Marquette University’s National Society of Black Engineers chapter with a classmate, contributed to the development of  Milwaukee Academy of Science’s robotics program, and as a McNair Scholar, conducted research on digital signal processing to study animal vocalizations for the Dr. Dolittle Project, presenting his work at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research. These experiences reflect his early enthusiasm for engineering, mentorship, and exploration, which carried over into his interest in intellectual property after a college presentation by a minority professional. He approaches every project with the same curiosity and excitement that fueled his early engineering pursuits.

Outside the Office

Jason is often at the gym or busy planning his next trip. He enjoys traveling—recent highlights include a Bahamas cruise and visits to Miami, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Mexico—and is always looking to broaden his horizons. An only child, Jason keeps a close eye on his mom, gently encouraging her from overexertion. They can often be found enjoying Milwaukee Bucks games together thanks to her season tickets.

Community Leadership

Jason is deeply committed to giving back and championing opportunities for others. He began his community involvement through TRIO programs, including Upward Bound Math/Science and the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program, which support low-income, first-generation college students and individuals with disabilities. Having benefited from these programs himself, he later returned as a tutor and counselor, teaching robotics and electronics and mentoring students through the college application process. He was also invited to testify before Congress on behalf of TRIO when funding was at risk, demonstrating his dedication to advancing educational equity.

Beyond education, Jason actively engages with his local community. He is a Master Mason who participates in neighborhood cleanups, community events, and annual fundraisers. He also served on the Felmers O. Chaney Advocacy Board, helping individuals in a minimum-security facility prepare for the GED and reintegrate into society.

Through these efforts, Jason strives to inspire the next generation and demonstrate that opportunities in STEM and intellectual property are within reach for others like him.
