With nearly 40 years of experience in civil and geotechnical engineering, this expert specializes in foundation engineering, pavement systems, slope stability, and infrastructure design. Their expertise includes residential and high-rise building foundations, asphalt and concrete pavements, landslide investigation and stabilization, and foundations for complex structures such as power plants, dams, pipelines, and large commercial developments. Their work also encompasses evaluation of moisture intrusion, wall failures, slab performance, and sewer line distress, reflecting extensive experience in both design and forensic analysis of civil engineering systems.

Building on this technical foundation, this expert has directed and participated in a wide range of high-profile civil engineering projects across the United States and internationally, including developments for major commercial, transportation, and government clients. Their project experience includes geotechnical design and construction support for airport terminals, federal facilities, large-scale residential developments, water infrastructure systems, and entertainment complexes, as well as international projects involving site development, grading, and utility systems. They have also served in advisory and regulatory roles, including plan check review and grading consultation for public agencies and participation in committees responsible for establishing geotechnical design criteria and construction standards.

Demonstrating extensive leadership, this expert has served as Principal Engineer and President of an engineering consulting firm since the late 1990s, providing technical leadership, client development, and senior project management for civil and geotechnical engineering projects. Prior roles include executive and senior engineering positions within major consulting firms, where responsibilities included oversight of geotechnical investigations, multidisciplinary project execution, and engineering teams across diverse infrastructure projects. Their professional credentials include licensure as a Professional Engineer and Geotechnical Engineer across multiple states, including California, Nevada, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, and Texas, reflecting broad jurisdictional expertise.

Complementing their professional background, this expert has more than 20 years of expert witness experience, including litigation consultation, deposition testimony, courtroom testimony, and participation in mediations and settlement conferences in civil and geotechnical matters. Their forensic work spans several hundred cases and includes preparation of technical reports, demonstrative exhibits, and supervision of extensive field investigations involving destructive testing, soil and material analysis, and structural evaluation. They hold multiple advanced degrees in civil engineering, including a Ph.D., and maintain active involvement in professional organizations such as the American Society of Civil Engineers, American Society for Testing and Materials, American Concrete Institute, and Post-Tensioning Institute. Their professional recognition includes an Engineering Excellence Award for contributions to the field of civil engineering.
