Bringing over 25+ years of experience in environmental geology, this California-licensed Professional Geologist supports matters involving site contamination, environmental due diligence, and technical evaluation in legal contexts. Work has included both consulting and testifying roles in disputes concerning soil, groundwater, and vapor impacts at a variety of commercial, industrial, and municipal properties.

Field and analytical experience cover a wide spectrum of site types, from petroleum-related operations and landfills to agricultural and chemical manufacturing facilities. Responsibilities have included performing environmental site assessments, conducting subsurface and hydrogeologic evaluations, and reviewing hazardous materials conditions. Investigations frequently involve identifying and delineating contamination associated with petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals, chlorinated solvents, pesticides, PCBs, and PFAS, as well as examining historical land use to determine potential sources and migration behavior of contaminants.

Litigation support activities have involved detailed review of environmental records, regulatory files, and historical data, along with analysis of large datasets generated from site investigations. This work often includes evaluating the quality and completeness of prior environmental work, developing geospatial datasets, and preparing visual and technical materials for use in mediation and trial proceedings.
