A little more about Keith
I was born in Dallas, Texas.
I have two undergraduate degrees, a B.S. in computer science from Regis University in Denver, Colorado and a B.A. in music and business from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas.
I enjoy being a lawyer because of the challenge of tackling tough issues for clients, as well as the freedom provided to make your own way or to be entrepreneurial to a degree that other professions may not allow. Additionally, being an IP attorney provides the opportunity to encounter a variety of impressive technologies.
For downtime, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and playing video games including everything from online multiplayer games to playing Mario with my kids. I am also an avid Texas Rangers fan.
One of my favorite places to visit or vacation is Ruidoso, New Mexico. I used to have family that lived near there and it’s still a quaint little mountain town to visit for some great scenery. Plus, I love New Mexican food and anything with hatch chile. Internationally, I recently visited Edinburgh, Scotland. I plan to visit again at the next chance and possibly travel north to attend the highland games.
