With nearly 50 years of experience in civil and construction engineering, this construction engineering expert specializes in forensic engineering, structural engineering, construction practices, constructability, and engineering standard of care. His expertise encompasses the investigation of construction defects, structural failures, construction accidents, OSHA and New York Labor Law matters, foundation systems, and civil infrastructure. Over the past 30 years, he has provided forensic engineering services in more than 600 cases throughout the United States and Canada, including technical investigations, engineering analyses, code compliance evaluations, expert reports, and testimony.

His professional experience spans the full spectrum of major construction projects, serving as a contractor, construction engineer, project and program manager, and engineering consultant on public and private developments valued up to $2.5 billion. He has directed and evaluated projects involving commercial buildings, bridges, highways, tunnels, airports, marine facilities, mass transit systems, wastewater infrastructure, deep foundations, excavation support systems, and waterfront construction. His work includes constructability reviews, value engineering, design-build delivery, construction planning, scheduling, claims support, and engineering evaluations for complex infrastructure projects.

He earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and a Master of Arts in Mathematics and completed doctoral studies in engineering. Licensed as a Professional Engineer in New York and Florida, he has held leadership and advisory roles with the Design-Build Institute of America, the American Society of Value Engineers, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Capital Construction program, the New York City Department of Buildings Safety in Construction Panel, and the U.S. Department of State Overseas Buildings Operations Industry Advisory Panel.

Throughout his career, he has performed structural and geotechnical evaluations involving foundations, piling, slurry walls, tiebacks, support of excavation systems, retaining structures, marine facilities, ferry terminals, sheet piling, cofferdams, heavy lifts, and specialized construction operations. His experience also includes investigations of construction safety failures, equipment-related incidents, means and methods, scheduling disputes, and construction claims. This combination of extensive engineering design, construction management, forensic investigation, and infrastructure expertise provides comprehensive insight into construction engineering practices, project execution, structural performance, and professional standards of care.
