His favorite aspects of his practice include expanding his understanding of cutting-edge technologies and collaborating with clients to develop strategies that best support their business objectives within the constraints of their budget. Through his career as a patent attorney, Dan has regularly worked with Fortune 500 companies and small inventors in developing and carrying out their intellectual property strategies. Dan has extensive experience prosecuting U.S. and international patent applications as well as supporting foreign counsel to secure patents outside the United States.

Dan has a deep commitment to public service, previously serving as mayor of Newport, Minnesota, a first ring suburb of St. Paul. In this role, he welcomed new ideas and diverse opinions in order to help governmental bodies to improve their services and efficiency. He is most proud of the city's aggressive support for new development while protecting the character of existing neighborhoods. As a result of the city's successful efforts to grow the tax base, Newport is currently investing in long-standing infrastructure issues without needing to raise taxes on existing homeowners.

    In the Media

  • Vote on the future of Newport (South Washington County Bulletin, 2016) Washington County's plan to bring 1000+ new residents to Newport without any increase in the tax base is a bad deal for current residents.
  • A $2 million discount (St. Paul Pioneer Press, 2015) Ramsey and Washington Counties' $24.4 million purchase of the resource derived fuel plant in Newport, a money-hemorrhaging operation in a soon-to-be extinct industry, is not only a terrible deal for taxpayers, but is a net loss for the environment.
