Prior to becoming a patent attorney, Justin was a practicing mechanical engineer. He designed firewater deluge systems for a liquified natural gas storage facility, reviewed cryogenic butterfly valve testing, and worked as a field engineer in process piping and commissioning. It was a wonderful experience, but he appreciates that his job no longer includes taking midnight moisture readings from a nitrogen purge valve 220 feet in the air.
He now applies his piping skills to home improvements, with plans to build skin-on-frame boats and fine furniture. He was fortunate enough to meet his wife Trista, whom he married in 2014.
