Kyle Dolan: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A former astrophysics researcher who, 10 years ago, pivoted from academia to patent litigation
• A huge fan of my amazing wife, Stacey, who dazzles audiences in local theater productions when not at her day job as a human resources manager
• Always fascinated to learn new things and solve interesting puzzles
• The son of an engineer and a teacher who taught me to always be curious and find the best in myself and others
• An amateur baker who knows the secrets for making a delicious cheesecake, even if I say so myself
• A music lover who enjoys singing and playing the clarinet
• An unapologetic sci-fi nerd and avid follower of Doctor Who, the MCU and the “Star” franchises, both Wars and Trek
• A proud uncle to nine nieces and nephews (otherwise known as “niblings”)
• A home brewer who makes a different style of beer every year for my birthday party
• Planning to take some exciting trips in the next few years (including to Morocco for the 2027 solar eclipse)
