About

I’ve taught in the areas of intellectual property, cyberlaw, civil procedure, commercial law, and business law.  Prior to joining the faculty of St. Thomas University School of Law, I served as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.  This spring, I was very honored to have been named 1L Professor of the Year by the students and Student Bar Association at St. Thomas Law.

I received my B.A. in Philosophy and English from the University of Pittsburgh, and later earned my J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, where I served as Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review.  I have also served as a law clerk to the Hon. D. Michael Fisher and Hon. Joseph F. Weis of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.  I also practiced for a number of years in the Intellectual Property and Copyright and Trademark practice groups at Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP (now K&L Gates LLP).

I write about the role that changing technology plays in how information is created, disseminated, and retrieved.  My works have been published in the the Harvard Journal of Law & Technology and the University of Pittsburgh Law Review, and I’m honored to have twice received the Ladas Memorial Award from the Brand Names Education Foundation.  I also publish a blog, digital garbage, and post frequently to Twitter.
