An atmospheric scientist and forensic meteorologist provides expert witness and consulting services in matters involving weather analysis, aviation meteorology, and atmospheric conditions impacting incidents and infrastructure. This expert has prior consulting and expert witness experience, with work centered on reconstructing weather conditions and evaluating meteorological factors in disputes involving aviation accidents, vehicle incidents, structural impacts, and environmental events.

Technical expertise includes forecasting and analysis of high wind events, aircraft icing, turbulence, microbursts, thunderstorms, winter storms, atmospheric rivers, hail, tornadoes, roof avalanches, and dust-related phenomena. Additional work involves radar and satellite meteorology, atmospheric modeling using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, atmospheric instrumentation, and interpretation of international meteorological datasets. The expert has applied this knowledge to cases involving aviation incidents (including airplane and helicopter events), roadway accidents, wildfire conditions, bridge and dam failures, and weather-related structural and visibility impacts.

Educational background includes a Master of Science in Atmospheric Science and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Professional credentials include upper-air certification through the National Weather Service and a Federal Communications Commission General Class Amateur Radio License. Active membership in professional meteorological organizations reflects ongoing engagement with industry standards and professional development.
