ABOUT JEFF

President and Chief Scientist biography Jeff Haley founded OraHealth in 2001 after practicing law for 20 years as one of Seattle’s leading intellectual property attorneys. Jeff was trained as a scientist at Amherst College where he earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and later at the University of Washington where  he earned a further degree in materials science and mechanical engineering. After working as a chemist at Rocket Research Corporation, he entered law school and obtained a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Washington in 1979.

Jeff co-founded the patent law firm Graybeal Jackson Haley in Bellevue, Washington, from which he retired in 2006. As an attorney, Jeff helped many inventors develop their inventions and build successful start-­‐up businesses. For more than 30 years, Jeff has been on the Board of Directors of the Brown & Haley candy company of Tacoma, maker of Almond Roca, co-founded by his grandfather in 1912.

This unique combination of scientific, entrepreneurial, and legal experience allows  Jeff to function as both Chief Scientist and CEO of OraHealth. Jeff developed OraHealth’s products for mouth sores because he suffers from canker sores. In the process, he developed technologies for adhesion in the mouth and time release in the mouth. With these technologies, oral problems can be solved with safe ingredients that become effective only when time released. Using these technologies, Jeff developed the new best remedy for xerostomia, XyliMelts for Dry Mouth. In addtion to dry mouth and canker sores,  the problems that can be solved with these technologies include bad breath, sore throat, gingivitis, acid reflux, oral cancer, delivery of drugs through the cheek wall to avoid acids of the stomach, and delivery of vaccines.
