Providing expert witness services and has over 25 years of experience in industrial technology with specialization in materials engineering, including plastics, composites, adhesives, silicones, sealants, and related chemical systems across aerospace, automotive, marine, medical, and general industrial applications. With more than 10 years of expert witness involvement, their work includes litigation consultation, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony in matters involving material performance, product defects, and failure analysis. Their evaluations address issues such as bonding and joining failures, product reliability, manufacturing defects, and standards of care in materials selection and application.

Their technical work includes failure analysis and laboratory-based evaluation of components, using test and evaluation methods, certificates of analysis, and quality testing protocols to determine root cause and corrective action. Experience in materials and processes engineering encompasses thermoset and thermoplastic systems, composite structures, surface preparation, and adhesive selection for structural and industrial use. This includes investigation of suspect or failed products, analysis of field complaints, and application of laboratory findings to assess performance and compliance with expected material standards.

Professional background includes long-standing involvement with manufacturing, materials engineering, aerospace, automotive, chemical, and industrial technology organizations, contributing to materials engineering, product development, and quality assurance across large-scale industrial operations. The expert has also been affiliated with professional organizations focused on materials science, composites manufacturing, forensic consulting, and expert witness services, reflecting ongoing engagement in technical and forensic disciplines. Credentials include certification as an ANSI ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Systems Internal Auditor. The expert holds a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology with emphasis in plastics and composites manufacturing engineering.

The expert’s experience further extends to product and process development, material qualification, and quality assurance within manufacturing and distribution environments. Work in this area includes oversight of product testing, troubleshooting, and implementation of corrective actions, as well as involvement in contracts, inventory systems, and distribution logistics for industrial materials. Industry applications include aerospace and satellite systems, automotive and vehicle components, and recreational equipment such as motorcycles, where materials durability and performance are evaluated in the context of alleged defects or failures.
