Court Testimony Experience
With more than 20 years of experience in hydrology and water resources engineering, this hydrology and water resources engineering expert specializes in hydrology, hydraulics, hydrodynamics, environmental systems, water quality, water quantity, sediment transport, and water resources modeling. His practice focuses on developing engineering solutions for complex watershed, river, lake, wetland, and coastal systems through the integration of grounded field investigations, water flow and water level measurements, bathymetric surveys, hydraulic analysis, and advanced numerical modeling. He also has prior expert witness experience, providing consultations, depositions, and courtroom testimony in matters involving hydrology, water quality, environmental flows, water rights, and water resources.
His educational background includes a Master of Science in Environmental and Water Resources Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. He is a licensed Professional Engineer, a Diplomate, Water Resources Engineer (D.WRE), and a Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM). He maintains active membership in the American Society of Civil Engineers and has completed advanced technical training in hydrologic, hydraulic, sediment transport, and water quality modeling.
Throughout his career, he has served as Principal Engineer, Managing Engineer, and Team Leader for major public and private sector water resources projects. His responsibilities have included hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, environmental flow assessments, floodplain evaluations, water rights reliability studies, sediment transport investigations, hydrographic and bathymetric surveying, water quality and water quantity modeling, and the collection of field data involving streamflow, water levels, bathymetry, and water quality. He has directed multidisciplinary engineering teams on projects involving rivers, reservoirs, coastal systems, and watershed management while applying advanced modeling platforms to evaluate hydrology, hydrodynamics, flood behavior, sediment movement, environmental impacts, and ecosystem performance. His work has also included technical support and expert testimony for contested administrative hearings involving water management plans, discharge permits, and water rights.
In addition to his consulting practice, he has contributed to the advancement of water resources engineering through the development and application of sophisticated hydrologic, hydraulic, and environmental models for state agencies, river authorities, municipalities, and private clients. His expertise extends to watershed protection planning, flood risk analysis, environmental permitting, coastal hydraulics, dissolved oxygen and nutrient modeling, environmental flow standards, and sediment transport evaluations. By combining extensive field experience with advanced computational modeling and forensic analysis, he provides comprehensive expertise in hydrology, water resources engineering, hydraulic systems, environmental compliance, and accepted engineering standards.
