Our Team

Jeff is an advisor at MKA Insights.

After building one of the most successful patent law practices in Colorado, he raised several million dollars to acquire medical device company TranS1’s IP assets. Within a few years of rebuilding TranS1 as CEO, ColoradoBiz Magazine named TranS1 one of the top 250 companies in Colorado by revenue. Under Jeff’s leadership, Orthopedics This Week awarded TranS1 the 2017 Spine Technology Award. In addition to building intellectual property strategies with the Rocky Mountain Patent (now part of Hall Estill) team, Jeff now advises, operates and invests in multiple companies.

In 2018, Jeff took a significant stake in MFB Fertility, Inc. – evolving its underlying tech into multiple patent pending products and an emerging brand in women’s health – and he continues to play a leadership role. Soon thereafter, the company was featured in Forbes and won the “Best Family Tech at CES” award given by Parents Magazine. In 2019, the company won SXSW Startup of the Year.

Also in 2019, leading southwestern law firm Hall Estill acquired the rights to the Rocky Mountain Patent brand. Jeff now leads the Ventures Growth practice for Hall Estill.

Jeff joined Madison Street Capital in 2020 to spearhead the investment bank’s efforts to facilitate debt and equity opportunities in Colorado.

Jeff attended Northwestern University, graduating with degrees in Industrial Engineering & Management Sciences and Economics in 2004. He subsequently earned his JD and masters degrees in International Studies and Medical Informatics. Jeff separately studied economics at Harvard University, and in 2007, was a delegate at the Harvard China-India Development & Relations Symposium. ColoradoBiz Magazine named Jeff one of the 25 “Most Influential Young Professionals in Colorado.” He was also a finalist for the Denver Post’s “Colorado Innovator of the Year” and “Denver Trailblazer” awards. In 2017, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock invited Jeff to participate in Denver’s official trade delegation to South Africa and Kenya.
