About Me
The story so far...
I am a practicing attorney licensed in the State of Texas. I am traveling the world trying to use my license to help others.
Before I became a lawyer, I was a graphic designer and animator. This origin fuels my interest in the intersections of law, technology, and art.
My Skillset
My artistic background has given me an eye for detail while keeping in mind the big picture. I solve problems by balancing the pragmatic approach with the creative tack, and I constantly seek more efficient ways to complete a task.
I also have a wide range of technical skills including mastery of the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite, video production, 3D modeling, and photography.
My Goals
I am interested in using my law license to help others. I became a lawyer with the goal of helping other artists protect their work. I seek the opportunity to serve and make a difference.
My Research
My research focuses on the use of CGI in movies and TV to digitally resurrect dead actors and actresses. I created what I call the "Model Likeness Protection Strategy," an estate planning technique that can prevent an individual's likeness or persona from reappearing after their death.
