Before Sterne Kessler's Jonathan Tuminaro was a lawyer or had a Ph.D. in physics, he was a college basketball player. The patent litigator recently returned to his alma mater, Canisius College in Buffalo, NY, for a 20th anniversary celebrating his basketball team's appearance in the NCAA tournament as the MAAC champs

At a banquet, he caught up with former coach John Beilein, now head coach for the University of Michigan.
