Since 1997, I’ve called Switzerland home. I first lived in Geneva, and now I reside in the Ost-Schweiz with my wife, Novella, and our children. We live in Arbon, a town with a beautiful castle on Lake Constance. Being a lover of history, antiquities, and castles, it’s heaven here.
Professionally, I’m an IP attorney and have helped entrepreneurs protect their innovations with trade secrets, patents and designs, and their brands with trademarks in the US, the EU, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. My work is not work for me because I truly enjoy helping creative companies and persons succeed. I am an engineer, a businessman and lawyer and have worked at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, where my work has been featured on the Discovery Channel. I also enjoy teaching IP law to master’s students at Zurich University ZHAW.
I’ve been part of the AIC Zurich for several years and have been involved with the AIC Geneva for even longer. I truly enjoy being part of such an active and vibrant community of fascinating people from diverse backgrounds.
I speak fluent English, French, and German… and hope one day to speak Italian as well!
I look forward to meeting you at an upcoming AICZ event!
