Licensed architect and professional engineer with more than 25 years of experience across architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, geology, and construction and serves as an architecture and engineering expert witness in complex construction and property-related disputes. He applies a multidisciplinary approach to evaluating damaged or deficient improvements, developing repair scopes, and assessing standards of care in both design and construction contexts. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering and a Master of Business Administration in Finance.

His forensic work encompasses slope stability analysis, geotechnical investigations, foundation and settlement analysis, seismic hazard assessment, and earthquake damage evaluation. He has analyzed landslides, retaining wall failures, soil compaction issues, grading deficiencies, and groundwater conditions, as well as hydrology, drainage, flooding, stormwater pollution, and erosion control concerns. In structural and architectural matters, his experience includes assessment of wood, steel, and concrete systems; deep foundation systems; building envelope performance; waterproofing and water intrusion; fire damage; slab vapor emission; and ADA-related egress considerations. These areas of expertise are frequently applied in disputes involving construction defects, project delay, contract termination, cost estimating, and reconstruction scope determinations.

He has been retained as an expert more than 200 times, deposed over 100 times, and has provided testimony in court trials or binding arbitration proceedings more than 20 times. Courts in multiple counties have qualified him as an expert in the fields of architecture; civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering; hydrogeology; and cost estimating. His testimony has addressed issues including architectural detailing and as-built construction, landslides, settlement, retaining wall performance, site drainage and runoff containment, deck waterproofing, concrete and structural analysis, fire and earthquake damage, septic system failure, and reconstruction cost evaluation.

He currently serves as Principal Engineer of an engineering consulting practice and as President and Responsible Managing Officer of a general engineering and building contracting company. Professional registrations include Licensed Architect, Registered Civil Engineer, Registered Geotechnical Engineer, Certified Engineering Geologist, Registered Geologist, Certified Hydrogeologist, and general engineering and general building contractor licenses in multiple jurisdictions. He holds degrees in engineering and business administration.
