Born and raised on Jacksonville’s Westside, I attended Westside (formerly Forrest) High School, Jacksonville Heights, Oak Hill Elementary School, and was an active member of Oak Crest Methodist Church. My father worked his way up from serving as an aircraft mechanic in the U.S. Navy at NAS Cecil Field to becoming the comptroller for the NAS Jacksonville Public Works Division. My mother was a kindergarten teacher in Clay and Duval County public schools. Part of my childhood was also spent on the naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GTMO), giving me firsthand exposure to military life and the broader world.

I relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 2018 after being recruited by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), where I served as the Intellectual Property Team Leader. During my tenure, I led efforts to enhance LANL’s technology transfer processes. In April 2024, I left LANL to return to my private practice, Fox Law, on a full-time basis.
