Grounded in more than 35 years of engineering analysis and forensic investigation, this Professional Engineer focuses on examining how and why mechanical systems fail, with particular expertise in accident reconstruction, safety design, human factors, ergonomics, and failure prevention. His work integrates mechanical engineering principles with human performance analysis, enabling him to evaluate not only component and system performance but also how users interact with warnings, controls, safety information, and engineered products under real-world conditions.

A significant portion of his experience centers on tire, wheel, and brake systems across a wide range of vehicles, where he has conducted inspections, testing, accident investigations, and failure analyses involving issues such as tread separation, tire mounting practices, brake performance, vehicle dynamics, and driver response. His expertise also extends to automation, robotics, microprocessor-controlled systems, and safety-related product design reviews. He has participated in standards-related activities involving engineering safety and product performance and has provided expert testimony in matters involving product liability, accident causation, mechanical failures, warnings, and human factors issues.

He holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan and a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in California and Michigan and has held senior engineering and leadership roles in accident reconstruction, failure analysis, human performance, and risk analysis throughout his career. Professional affiliations include organizations dedicated to mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, tire technology, human factors and ergonomics, safety engineering, and forensic engineering.
