Jean-Que M. Dar, also known as Q, is a former lawyer and musician, currently a technology entrepreneur from Miami, Florida. Since age 8, Q has mastered eight treble clef instruments and directed three choirs. As an artist, Q has an insurmountable passion for the arts. Q studied Political Science and Legal Communications at Howard University, concentrated on Intellectual Property (IP) law at the Drake University Law School, and received a Master of Law LL.M. at Yale Law School.

Q is a proud member of the Langston Bar Association.

While at Davis Wright, the buzz of Silicon Beach in Santa Monica, California, started to take permanent shape. Q and a few attorneys noticed the high demand for intellectual property support from major law firms and start-ups within Silicon Beach. So Q and his colleagues formed IP Precise, an IP Prosecution one-stop-shop to get any idea from concept to marketplace. IP Precise became popular for Fortune 100 executives who sought to give birth to a start-up while remaining at their current job positions.

Q places an incredible amount of value on the types of clients he would represent and mainly engages companies within the sustainable technology industry.

The homes would serve as the benchmark for building net-zero, fully sustainable homes of the future.
