This Automotive Engineering expert witness brings over 40 years of experience in automotive design, dynamic testing, and vehicle stability research. For more than 14 years, he has provided litigation consultation, deposition testimony, and trial testimony in matters involving detailed systems analyses of catastrophic injury crashes, loss-of-control events, rollover propensity, brake and suspension performance, drivetrain configuration, and the effectiveness of electronic stability control (ESC) and traction control systems. His work includes analysis of vehicle trajectories, component failure modes, event data recorder (“black box”) information, and evaluation of the potential effects of alternative designs and available safety technologies on accident outcomes in accordance with established SAE industry practices and protocols.

Professional roles have included Director of Engineering for Vehicle Stability, Executive Engineer, and Chief Engineer within automotive development and research organizations. His technical expertise encompasses drivetrain architecture, electrohydraulic limited slip differentials, all-wheel-drive and torque transfer systems, suspension geometry, steering response, brake system performance and fatigue resistance, predictive brake and clutch temperature modeling, and systems-level vehicle handling integration. He has conducted dynamic vehicle testing worldwide, including rollover and handling tests, and has participated in validation of components and systems incorporated into production vehicles. Credentials include a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Professional memberships include the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the International Council of Motorsport Sciences. He holds multiple U.S. and international patents relating to drivetrain hydraulic couplings and limited slip differential systems implemented in commercial vehicle platforms.
