Mechanical engineering expert witness and brings over 25 years of experience in HVAC systems, building engineering, and integrated building systems design, with a focus on commissioning, testing, and code compliance in complex facilities. Their work evaluates mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems, supported by extensive field experience in testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting to identify deficiencies in system design and operation. Their background reflects development of integrated design approaches aligned with energy performance, operational functionality, and project requirements.

Their experience includes design and commissioning of HVAC and central plant systems, including boilers, chillers, pumps, ventilation systems, and combined cooling, heating, and power systems. Key areas of work involve diagnosing operational issues, evaluating system performance, and assessing compliance with construction and energy codes, including application of the New York State Energy Conservation Code in building commissioning and verification. Their work spans healthcare, laboratory, industrial, mission-critical, and commercial facilities, where system reliability, energy efficiency, and control integration are critical.

In addition to design and commissioning, their work includes troubleshooting system operation, identifying design deficiencies, and developing corrective solutions for building system failures. Their expert witness experience is grounded in hands-on evaluation of installation and operational conditions in matters involving HVAC performance, energy systems, and compliance with design intent and applicable codes. Professional involvement includes participation with ASHRAE and contributions to refrigeration standards development, reflecting engagement with industry guidance and technical standards.

Professional credentials include licensure as a Professional Engineer, designation as a Certified Commissioning Professional, and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional credentials. Educational background includes a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering. Professional affiliations include ASHRAE, the Building Commissioning Association, the American Institute of Architects, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying.
