Grounded in over 25 years of experience in transportation and traffic engineering, this professional serves as an expert witness in matters involving roadway design, railroad crossings, and transportation-related incidents. Their work includes more than 5 years of providing consultation, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony, along with involvement in numerous cases addressing accident causation, infrastructure performance, and traffic control conditions.
Their expertise includes analysis of roadway development, traffic engineering systems, and transportation planning, with specific focus on emergency braking and sight distance, bridge guardrail design, and traffic control devices such as signage, striping, and signals. Work in this area also involves investigation of public and private railroad crossing incidents, railroad-highway vehicle collisions, and truck terminal accidents, as well as bus shelter incidents and slip, trip, and fall cases. These capabilities are applied in assessing roadway safety conditions, infrastructure design adequacy, and operational factors contributing to accidents.
Holding a master’s degree in transportation planning and engineering, a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, and a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, this expert is also a licensed Professional Engineer and a Fellow of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (F.ITE). Professional involvement includes active participation in the Institute of Transportation Engineers, including committee contributions related to the Federal Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), as well as prior involvement with the Transportation Research Board and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
In addition to expert witness work, this professional has held senior engineering and management roles involving coordination of large-scale infrastructure projects, including bridge replacement initiatives and roadway system improvements. Responsibilities have included agency coordination, development of transportation plans, and implementation of safety-focused design changes aimed at reducing congestion, improving traffic flow, and mitigating accident risks across complex transportation systems.
