Inventor/patent attorney
I have bachelors and masters degrees in chemistry from BYU, a law degree from U. of Virginia, practice patent law as a vocation, and have worked for 15 years researching and developing a variety of ways to reduce cement content in concrete by particle size optimization of cement, SCMs and mineral fillers. Roman Cement, which I helped found, has done several field test pours for proof of concept.

EP #119: Is More Limestone the Key to Stronger, Cheaper Concrete?
What if you were told there’s better concrete out there with more limestone than what’s used in Type IL cement mixes? Sounds crazy, right? But that’s exactly what we’re exploring today with John Guynn and John Kline. In this episode, we explore ACI 211-7R and its potential to reduce cement content without sacrificing performance. Learn how adjusting particle size distribution, using admixtures, and understanding the water-cement ratio can improve workability and strength. Plus, get insights on ...
