This structural and seismic engineering specialist brings more than 30 years of experience working on the design, evaluation, and rehabilitation of buildings and infrastructure across a wide range of sectors. His work spans healthcare, education, commercial, civic, hospitality, and industrial projects, with a strong emphasis on earthquake-resistant design, seismic retrofit strategies, code compliance, and improving structural performance under seismic conditions. He has overseen engineering teams and contributed to thousands of projects involving both new construction and complex retrofits, including essential facilities, parking structures, medical campuses, educational institutions, and mixed-use developments.

His technical background includes detailed seismic assessments, retrofit design, performance-based engineering, and structural analysis of existing and new systems. He has been heavily involved in plan review and code compliance efforts, particularly for projects subject to Division of the State Architect (DSA) and California Building Code requirements. His experience also includes investigation of structural deficiencies, earthquake damage evaluations, development of repair and mitigation strategies, and seismic risk reduction for existing facilities, including historic buildings, public infrastructure, and large-scale institutional properties. He has additionally supported international earthquake damage assessment and reconstruction programs involving post-disaster structural evaluations and resiliency planning.

Beyond design and consulting work, he has supported dispute resolution and expert analysis in matters involving structural integrity, seismic performance, and code compliance issues. His professional credentials include licensure as a structural and civil engineer in multiple jurisdictions, along with certification related to structural safety and code amendments through the Division of the State Architect. He has also maintained active involvement with professional organizations including the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California, where he has served in leadership roles involving building code development and structural safety initiatives.
