A patent attorney and principal of a growing law firm, Ridgeline Venture Law, Christopher works largely with businesses and intellectual property law - patents, trademarks, trade secret protection, biotech, digital tech, and socially aligned businesses.

In this episode, he shares a different perspective of our community from a transplant viewpoint, highlighting some of the Upper Cumberland's greatest hits - the presence of the University, cultural exposure, community events, and the power of our ecotourism. Kevin also shares his personal story of transformation from troubled kid to successful attorney, husband, and father.
