A water metering expert witness with more than 30 years of experience, this professional specializes in water meter technologies, meter reading systems, product development, quality and reliability, cost analysis, and operational performance. More than 5 years of expert witness experience includes consultations and deposition testimony, including 4 documented expert depositions, as well as participation in an arbitration involving a water-line flow restriction device. His broader expertise encompasses due diligence, mergers and acquisitions, organizational efficiency, production and purchasing, order-entry processes, technical support, strategic planning, and domestic and international metering operations.

Educational attainment includes a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Professional qualifications include prior Professional Engineer licensure in multiple states, now retired. Standards leadership includes more than 30 years of participation with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Water Works Association, including service on meter standards activities, chairmanship of an AWWA subcommittee that developed a static meter standard, and membership on the AWWA Standards Council.

Technical work spans mechanical and electronic water metering, thermal energy metering, encoder registers, radio-based meter reading systems, compound and disc meters, electronic meter interfaces, meter communication networks, firmware and software integration, production testing, and manufacturing processes involving metal casting, machining, glass components, and injection-molded plastics. He has led domestic and international engineering teams, implemented product development and quality and reliability processes, evaluated new metering technologies, and performed cost-reduction and performance analyses. His inventive work also includes co-inventorship on patents involving compound meter technology and meter communication networks.

Beyond engineering development, leadership roles have included Director of Engineering, General Manager, and Director of Business Development, with responsibility for product strategy, research and development, manufacturing operations, purchasing, technical support, profitability, and acquisition due diligence. Consulting responsibilities encompass product strategy, organizational efficiency, international opportunities, expert testimony, and M&A evaluation. This combination of engineering leadership, standards participation, product development, manufacturing knowledge, and expert witness experience supports analysis of water meter design, performance, reading systems, quality, reliability, and related commercial or technical disputes.
