Spanning more than 40 years of experience in architecture, structural engineering, and civil engineering, this expert specializes in architectural and engineering standards of care, building codes, construction defects, and forensic investigation of building failures. His expertise includes compliance with international building, residential, fire, and energy codes; ADA and OSHA requirements; property condition assessments; and evaluation of damage related to wind, seismic, and flood events. His work also encompasses investigation of design errors and omissions, construction defects, roofing failures, access and egress issues, and structural systems involving steel, reinforced and prestressed concrete, wood, masonry, and cold-formed steel, as well as analysis of fire- and explosion-related damage and failure mechanisms.

Building on extensive leadership and technical experience, he has held senior roles including Division Head of a multidisciplinary Building Services Department overseeing architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical teams, as well as President of an architecture and engineering consulting firm. His career includes management and design of a wide range of projects, including commercial and institutional facilities, bridges, dams, water and wastewater treatment plants, power generation facilities, and large-scale infrastructure projects. Notably, he played a lead role in assisting the City of Atlantic City with building-related flood and damage repairs following Hurricane Sandy, reflecting applied expertise in disaster response, damage assessment, and large-scale remediation efforts.

Complementing his forensic and design work, he has also contributed to education and professional development as an adjunct instructor at the graduate level and as a continuing education provider on topics including ADA accessibility standards and public right-of-way guidelines. His experience includes structural engineering roles on complex industrial and infrastructure projects, including nuclear power facilities, aerospace-related structures, and major industrial plants, as well as forensic investigations involving building collapses, structural failures, and insurance-related damage claims.

Supporting these qualifications, he holds a Master of Science in Structural Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. He is a licensed architect in New Jersey and a licensed professional engineer in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida, and is a certified special inspector, with prior certification through a structural engineering board. His professional affiliations include organizations such as the American Institute of Architects, American Society of Civil Engineers, American Concrete Institute, International Code Council, and other industry groups related to building systems and materials. His expert witness experience includes preparation of over one hundred expert reports and testimony in more than twenty cases, as well as participation in consultations, depositions, arbitrations, mediations, and courtroom proceedings across federal, state, and municipal venues.
