S1 E52 About the Host - Wayne Carroll Patent and Trademark Attorney with Wayne Carroll

I was not breathing when I was born. I was sick a lot as a child. My health was a challenge, but I still loved the outdoors, camping, and Boy Scouts. I earned my eagle scout, and I still volunteer with Boy Scouts, now called Scouts BSA. I grew up in Colorado in a large family with 9 siblings I was always fascinated by machines and how things work - At 5 years old I went to Disney Land, and what interested me the most was an escalator that was under repair. I stopped to try to see how it worked, and my parents lost track of me. I enjoyed math and science in school. I earned a degree in Electronics Engineering Technology from DeVry in Phoenix Arizona. First career - engineer in the semiconductor industry Grandfather earned a Ph.D. in electronics and was an inventor - Bell Labs My father earned an MBA and my plan was to get an advanced degree like my father and grandfather. Prayer - This was a matter of prayer for me, and learned a lesson about how to receive answers to my prayers. Through prayer, I was guided to become a patent attorney.
