With more than 10 years of experience in vocational rehabilitation, this expert focuses on how injury, illness, disability, and major life events affect an individual’s ability to work and re-enter the labor market. His work involves evaluating worker traits, assessing vocational capacity, and analyzing employability through tools such as transferable skills analysis, vocational testing, job coaching, and labor market surveys, often in litigation, workers’ compensation, personal injury, medical malpractice, and family law matters.

He routinely provides return-to-work counseling and vocational evaluation services for individuals with psychological or physical disabilities, including those affected by significant or catastrophic losses. His experience also extends into insurance and maritime claims operations, including investigation and administration of workers’ compensation, Jones Act, U.S. Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, and protection and indemnity claims. This background gives him insight into both vocational rehabilitation issues and the claims-handling context in which employment capacity and return-to-work questions often arise.

He holds a Master of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, with concentrations in psychology and sociology, from the University of South Florida. In legal settings, he has served as a vocational expert offering opinions on employability, earning capacity, labor market access, and return-to-work potential. His involvement includes consultations, depositions, and courtroom testimony supported by hands-on experience with vocational assessment, labor market conditions, and case-specific rehabilitation analysis.
