Civil engineering expert and has over 25 years of experience in civil engineering, with expertise in environmental engineering and residential and commercial construction, including planning, design, and inspection. For more than 10 years, their work in legal matters has included consultations, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony in cases involving construction conditions, engineering design, and inspection-related issues. Their work involves evaluation of building and site conditions, code compliance, and construction-related systems within residential and commercial environments, based on detailed inspection reports and engineering project experience.

Their professional experience includes planning, design, and inspection of onsite wastewater systems, foundations, retaining walls, structural components, pond dams, water control features, and driveways developed under city and county guidelines. Work in building inspection has involved evaluation of major residential systems, including structural, roofing, interior, exterior, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, heating, air conditioning, insulation, weatherization, and radon testing, with inspections performed in accordance with standards established by the American Society of Home Inspectors and the National Academy of Building Inspection Engineers. Additional engineering work includes land development projects involving site inspections, building pad and lot layout, site grading, and utility layout and design for water, sanitary sewer, and storm systems, along with preparation of drainage and utility reports and site development plans.

Their experience also includes civil, geotechnical, and hydrological engineering project work involving mine tailings impoundments and dams, water storage dams, diversion channels, tailing pile drainage systems, and environmental assessment studies, along with field-based project management, quality control inspections, and reporting. Public works experience includes inspection of residential and commercial projects for quality, safety, and jurisdictional code compliance across municipal infrastructure systems such as waterlines, sanitary sewers, storm drains, sidewalks, curb and gutter, and streets. Documented case involvement includes deposition and trial testimony in district court matters related to construction and property conditions.

The expert holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with a minor in Environmental Science. Professional credentials include licensure as a Professional Engineer and certification through the ITA Certified Inspection Program, along with ACI Concrete Technician Grade I certification. Additional technical training includes hazardous materials awareness and operations, National Incident Management System training, and emergency response-related training. Professional affiliations include the National Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association, the International Code Council, the National Society of Professional Engineers, the National Association of Building Inspection Engineers, and the American Society of Home Inspectors, reflecting involvement in engineering, inspection, and code-related practices.
