Michigan Law Firm - Warner Norcross + Judd LLP

Brad Boyink invented a holiday tree lighting system called GeekMyTree in 2014.  His invention was inspired by a beloved Christmas tradition - hosting for many years the second largest neighborhood Christmas light display in the nation. Building upon his expertise in these large production light shows, GeekMyTree brings the light display technology to individual trees; it offers a simple, hassle-free way to hang lights in minutes to provide pre-programmed lighting effects all under the control of a smartphone application.
