A personal corner of the internet

Hello, I’m
Sang.

I’m a husband, a father, and someone who enjoys the little things in life—a good cup of coffee, meaningful conversations, beautiful places, and time spent with people I care about.

A little about me →

Less noise.
More of what matters.

A little about me

A life shaped by
two cultures—and
many chapters.

I was born in Korea and moved to the United States when I was sixteen.

I’ve spent much of my adult life in the patent profession, but these days I’m giving myself some room to explore what might come next.

This is a little space where I hope to share some of my experiences, interests, and whatever else happens to be on my mind.

The little things

Small pleasures.
Serious enthusiasm.

The things that make an ordinary day feel like a pretty good one.

Coffee

Part ritual, part hobby, occasionally a personality trait.

Books

Ideas to sit with, underline, and return to.

Photography

A reason to look twice at what’s already there.

Sunlight filtering through a green forest

The outdoors

Fresh air, long walks, and the reliable perspective of standing next to a very old tree.

Swimming

Moving meditation, with goggles.

Future photoSomething made by hand

Making things

Learning with my hands and enjoying the imperfect result.

Boxing

Learning the combinations, getting a good workout, and sharing the rounds with my son.

All photographs in this section are placeholders for Sang’s own images.

The quiet life

Notes from the
middle of things.

A place for photographs, short notes, and longer reflections on the things I’m learning to notice—at home, outdoors, and along the way.

What I do

The professional chapter

Good patent work
starts with
understanding.

For much of my professional life, I’ve worked in the patent field, first as an examiner at the USPTO and later as a patent attorney, eventually becoming a partner at a law firm.

One of the things I’ve always enjoyed about patent work is getting to know the ideas behind an invention, understanding what someone is trying to accomplish, and figuring out how I might be able to help.

I’ve also come to appreciate that the people I work with—and the way we work together—can make just as much of a difference as the work itself.

Listen closely

The best strategy begins with the real business and technical context.

Explain clearly

Complex doesn’t have to mean opaque. Plain language builds trust.

Think long-term

A useful patent portfolio should serve where the client is going next.

One last thing

Let’s say hello.

Have a good book recommendation, a thought to share, or a coffee bean I absolutely need to know about? I’d be glad to hear from you.
