A licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with more than 25 years of experience, he specializes in civil engineering with a focus on transportation infrastructure, construction management, and public safety. His work spans highway and roadway design, traffic control systems including signage, signals, lighting, and striping, as well as construction materials, drainage, stormwater systems, and safety compliance. He has been actively involved in large-scale infrastructure programs, contributing to complex, high-value transportation and rail projects while overseeing contract administration, project execution, and adherence to engineering standards and regulatory requirements. His background also includes experience with Caltrans Highway Design Manual standards, MUTCD traffic control requirements, ADA accessibility guidelines, OSHA construction safety standards, and FHWA technical guidance.
Drawing from extensive field and program-level experience, he has managed construction operations, evaluated contractor performance, and addressed issues related to design errors, construction defects, delays, and claims. His expertise also includes construction safety, risk analysis, and compliance with applicable codes and contract provisions, with particular emphasis on protecting both workers and the public in active construction and roadway environments. His prior roles include Project Delivery Chief of Staff, Chief of Office of Capital Improvement Programming, Program Management Manager, Senior Resident Engineer, Transportation Engineer, and Special Advisor within public transportation and infrastructure agencies, where he managed multimillion- and multibillion-dollar transportation and high-speed rail programs. His background includes additional credentials such as PMP, SE, VMA, and QSD, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to engineering, project delivery, safety, and regulatory compliance.
In a forensic role, he has provided expert analysis in a wide range of matters involving traffic accidents, roadway conditions, construction incidents, and property damage. His casework includes evaluation of personal injury and fatality events, slip, trip, and fall incidents, construction zone accidents, trench collapses, stormwater and drainage disputes, and claims involving construction defects, delay damages, contract administration, and eminent domain issues. He has prepared expert reports and delivered testimony in legal proceedings, applying engineering principles, site inspections, standards-of-care analysis, and real-world project experience to assess causation, safety conditions, and adherence to engineering standards in complex civil infrastructure cases. His professional involvement includes organizations such as the Project Management Institute (PMI) and SAVE International, along with participation in numerous transportation, safety, and construction-related committees and oversight groups. He holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering, providing an academic foundation that complements his extensive experience in transportation engineering, construction management, and forensic engineering.
