With a career rooted in environmental toxicology and engineering, this Ph.D., D.A.B.T., and Professional Engineer has spent more than 30 years evaluating how chemical exposures translate into measurable human health risks. His work spans a wide range of substances, including metals, solvents, petroleum products, pesticides, airborne contaminants, and industrial emissions across occupational, environmental, and community settings. His expertise focuses on understanding exposure pathways, evaluating potential health effects, and applying toxicological principles to complex environmental and public health questions.

His practice centers on exposure assessment, quantitative risk analysis, and environmental health evaluation, including the development of baseline risk assessments, health-based criteria, remediation goals, and regulatory benchmarks. He has extensive experience in air quality assessment, environmental permitting, hazardous waste site evaluation, indoor air quality investigations, and analysis of mold and microbial contamination issues. His work has also involved evaluation of consumer products, implanted medical devices, odor-related nuisance conditions, and environmental releases, drawing upon experience in both consulting and regulatory environments.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master of Science degree in Environmental Science and Engineering from Rice University, as well as a Doctorate in Environmental Science and Engineering from the University of North Carolina School of Public Health, with specialization in toxicology and additional training in epidemiology, biostatistics, air pollution engineering, industrial hygiene, and chemistry. He also completed postdoctoral research in toxicology at the University of Texas School of Pharmacy, focusing on the effects of drugs and environmental contaminants on respiratory systems.

In the litigation arena, he has served as an expert in more than 300 matters involving toxic torts, occupational exposures, environmental contamination, workers’ compensation, and regulatory disputes. His analyses typically address exposure reconstruction, dose-response relationships, risk characterization, causation, and regulatory compliance, supported by more than 30 years of applied experience in toxicology, environmental engineering, public health, and risk assessment.
