Soil science and plant nutrition have been the focus of this expert's work, encompassing soil chemistry, land reclamation, soil amendments and conditioners, environmental effects on plants, crop management systems, revegetation and restoration of disturbed lands, salinity effects on plants, hydroponic nutrient systems, water and plant analysis, trace element interactions, fertilizer development, chelating agents, and concrete failures associated with soil chemistry. His background also includes the evaluation of tree failures, ornamental horticulture, water relations in plants, mineral nutrition, and environmental factors affecting plant growth. He has served as an expert witness in matters involving environmental contamination, land restoration, fertilizer damage, landscape failures, tree failures, hydrocarbon remediation, landfill closure, concrete deterioration related to soil conditions, and other soil- and plant-related disputes, while excluding algae-related matters from his practice.

His professional background includes serving as Owner of an agricultural research and consulting company specializing in land reclamation, soil amendments, soil conditioners, plant nutrition, and trace mineral effects on plants, as well as General Manager of a manufacturing company producing soil conditioners and plant nutrients. Earlier in his career, he served as a Research Biochemist, applying chemistry and biochemistry to environmental and agricultural research. His consulting work has addressed soil chemistry, plant performance, reclamation of disturbed lands, environmental restoration, fertilizer performance, nutrient interactions, and soil-related causes of structural and vegetation failures across a range of public and private projects.

He earned a Ph.D. in Biochemistry following a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and completed postdoctoral training in surgery. His scholarly contributions include numerous publications related to soil science, plant nutrition, plant physiology, and metal chelates in plant nutrition. He is affiliated with professional organizations including the American Chemical Society and the American Society of Agronomy.
