With more than 25 years of experience, this construction engineering expert specializes in structural engineering, construction engineering, forensic investigations, and building evaluations for commercial, residential, and industrial properties. His practice focuses on structural failures, construction defects, engineering standard of care, structural inspections, renovation projects, parking structures, foundations, retaining systems, and building performance. He has also provided litigation support and has been admitted as an expert witness in state courts, administrative proceedings, zoning board matters, and arbitration.

His professional experience encompasses the full lifecycle of structural and construction projects, from engineering design through construction oversight and forensic evaluation. He has directed structural analysis and design involving steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, wood, post-tensioned concrete, cold-formed steel, and composite structural systems. His work also includes the design and inspection of foundations, retaining walls, piles, caissons, grade beams, telecommunications structures, parking garages, and rooftop heliports, as well as the investigation of structural deficiencies and preparation of technical engineering reports. In addition, he has managed structural reinforcement and repair projects, construction cost estimating, permitting, project budgeting, and business operations for engineering and construction firms.

He earned a Master of Engineering in Structural Engineering and a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering with a concentration in Construction Management. Licensed as a Professional Engineer in 30 states, he also holds specialty credentials as a licensed special inspector for steel, concrete, and masonry, a qualified parking structure inspector, and a Florida Special Inspector. His professional leadership includes serving as National President of the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI), membership on the SEI Board of Governors, and election as a Fellow of both the Structural Engineering Institute and the American Society of Civil Engineers.

In addition to his engineering practice, he has contributed to the profession through technical publications, national conference presentations, and instruction in structural analysis, structural steel design, and home inspection education. His longstanding involvement in structural engineering leadership, combined with extensive experience in forensic investigations, construction management, structural design, and building inspections, provides comprehensive expertise in evaluating construction practices, structural performance, and engineering issues across a broad range of projects.
