Biomechanics and human factors engineering expert with more than 30 years of experience, this professional provides expert witness services in matters involving injury causation, accident reconstruction, ergonomic risk assessment, and product safety. He has provided consultation, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony for more than 25 years in state and federal courts. His background integrates biomechanics, ergonomics, human factors, and exercise physiology in the evaluation of personal injury, product liability, and safety-related disputes.

The expert’s biomechanics work includes forensic injury analysis, slip, trip, and fall mechanics, vehicle collision dynamics, balance and stability assessments, restraint systems, and kinetic and kinematic analysis. He evaluates acute and overuse injury mechanisms involving the shoulder, spine, knee, and hip, as well as osteoarthritis and cumulative trauma conditions. Experience extends to shaken baby syndrome analysis, anthropometric evaluation, and occupant motion studies. In ergonomics, his work addresses musculoskeletal disorders, repetitive strain injuries, low back injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, vibration exposure (hand-arm and whole body), manual material handling, task analysis, workplace accommodations, and quantification of physical demands and abilities.

Human factors expertise includes systems analysis, human error, decision-making processes, perception and information processing, warnings and labeling adequacy, safety-critical systems, communication, consumer products, and medical devices. He has evaluated medical errors, training systems, and environmental factors such as heat, cold, and lighting. Additional experience includes accident reconstruction involving locomotives and vehicle systems, electro-mechanical and control systems analysis, and structural and civil engineering considerations related to product and environmental safety.

Beyond forensic analysis, the expert has held president and senior consultant roles in a private biomechanics and human factors consulting firm, where responsibilities have included product development, commercialization of technology, retail store development, and injury prevention management. Prior executive and management roles in private industry involved product development, engineering, manufacturing quality, and commercialization of emerging technologies, including medical devices and patented consumer products. He holds degrees in mechanical engineering and business administration, with concentrations in biomechanics, ergonomics, and human factors engineering. He has been granted two patents and has authored and contributed to publications in peer-reviewed medical and engineering journals. Professional memberships include the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Biomechanics, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the American Industrial Hygiene Association, and the Institute of Industrial Engineers.
