Soil scientist and agronomist with more than 25 years of professional experience, this expert witness provides analysis in matters involving soil science, agronomy, irrigation systems, and environmental impacts on agricultural operations. He has over 10 years of experience serving in an expert capacity, including consultation, report preparation, depositions, arbitration proceedings, and testimony before courts and regulatory bodies in disputes involving soil disturbance, crop loss, irrigation impacts, nutrient management, and environmental compliance.

His expertise includes soil fertility, soil morphology and classification, soil and water conservation, irrigation management, field and forage crops, grain production systems, landscape and horticultural applications, and environmental considerations affecting agricultural lands. Litigation and consulting assignments have involved herbicide damage evaluation, crop failure assessment, salinity analysis, construction-related soil impacts, drainage and hydrologic alterations, irrigation system interruptions, and nutrient fate and transport in various cropping systems.

He holds professional licensure in soil science and maintains nationally recognized certifications in soil science and crop advising. He earned a Ph.D. in Soil Science, along with graduate and undergraduate degrees in agriculture. His background supports evaluation of soil classification, nutrient dynamics, hydrologic characteristics, and regulatory standards relevant to agricultural and environmental disputes.

His academic and applied career includes service in university faculty roles and senior-level soil science and agronomy positions, along with leadership in professional education initiatives. He has organized and delivered continuing education programs for soil and crop professionals and has contributed to peer-reviewed scientific publications and professional service activities within national soil science organizations.

Consulting experience further includes irrigation water availability assessments, development of water balance analyses consistent with regulatory frameworks, evaluation of irrigation system performance, land capability mapping, erosion assessment for infrastructure projects, and nutrient and salinity management modeling. His work frequently involves interpretation of soil survey data, classification systems, evapotranspiration requirements, and the interaction between soil properties and land management practices in contested agricultural and environmental matters.
