This construction professional serves as an expert witness and has more than 20 years of experience in residential, commercial, industrial, and multifamily construction. Their work encompasses general contracting, construction defects, building-code compliance, forensic investigations, property damage assessment, cost estimating, project management, and repair analysis. The expert has been retained in litigation involving construction defects, premises liability, property damage, contractor standard of care, scope of repair, and construction costs. Current professional responsibilities are performed in an expert capacity involving building-performance and construction-process matters.
Earlier leadership includes service as a construction company Owner and, subsequently, as Chief Executive Officer of a forensic construction consulting practice. That executive experience involved oversight of services addressing complex building issues, including construction management, building-envelope water-spray and destructive testing, cost-of-repair estimating, and repair recommendations involving waterproofing, stucco, framing, and ADA compliance. The expert’s broader technical practice includes allocation of responsibility, building codes and standards, building-envelope failures, construction contracts, quality assurance, construction drawings and permits, HVAC and mechanical systems, plumbing and piping, insurance repairs, site safety, restoration, schedule-delay analysis, walkway safety, and water-damage evaluation.
Professional qualifications include General Contractor licenses in Arizona, California, and Utah. The expert also holds the ICC General Building Inspector credential, Post Disaster Inspector qualification through California Building Officials (CALBO), and Certified Residential Mold Inspector (CRMI) certification, and has completed OSHA 30-Hour Outreach Training for the Construction Industry. Formal education includes study in Administration of Justice. These credentials complement practical experience evaluating construction quality, property conditions, building-system failures, regulatory compliance, repair scope, and construction costs in matters requiring technical construction analysis.
