A strong interest in math and science at an early age led to his studies in chemical engineering while managing and working in a family construction business. The exposure to a breadth of scientific and engineering disciplines guided him to the field of patents and patent law, where Ralph has remained throughout his legal career. The practical experience in the construction industry helps guide common sense solutions to complex problems.

Ralph holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Manhattan College, graduating magna cum laude. He received his J.D. from Pace University School of Law, cum laude.
