With more than 35 years of structural engineering experience, this expert witness specializes in structural design, forensic engineering, bridge engineering, building evaluation, foundation engineering, and construction-related failure analysis. More than 30 years of expert witness experience includes consultations and courtroom testimony. Forensic expertise encompasses design and construction failures, code compliance, retaining structures and dams, slope failures and subsidence, highway maintenance and safety, workplace safety, parking and vehicular circulation, and slip, trip, and fall matters.

Leadership responsibilities have included service as Vice President/Treasurer and Director of Structural Engineering, together with earlier work as a project and design engineer. Project experience includes roadway and pedestrian bridges, industrial and storage buildings, sanitary structures, retaining walls, foundations, wastewater and water treatment structures, and precast concrete systems for private and municipal clients. Additional responsibilities encompass preparation of structural plans and specifications, technical reports, permit applications, structural building evaluations, bridge inspection, construction administration, construction inspection, and cost estimating.

Professional qualifications include documented Professional Engineer licensure in multiple states. Educational attainment includes a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. Professional involvement includes the American Society of Civil Engineers, American Institute of Steel Construction, Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers, and Construction Specifications Institute. Leadership within professional organizations has included chapter secretary service with the American Society of Civil Engineers and chapter presidency with the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers.

Earlier engineering work involved steel, concrete, and timber structures, bridge inspection, and structural testing, including testing of slip-critical steel connections. The expert has also been court certified in Lehigh County and qualified in arbitration proceedings in Chester County. This combination of structural design, forensic investigation, construction experience, professional licensure, and expert testimony supports evaluation of structural deficiencies, building and bridge performance, code compliance, construction failures, foundation conditions, and other disputed structural engineering issues.
