Building acoustics, architectural acoustics analysis, and noise control engineering are central to this expert’s practice, which is supported by 35 years of experience in architecture with an emphasis in architectural acoustics. Their expertise includes acoustic metrics and testing, acoustic principles, acoustical design, audio/visual design, community noise, feasibility studies, impacts of acoustics, LEED acoustics, marine acoustics and vibration, mechanical noise and vibration control, noise codes and ordinances, room acoustics analysis, and signaling and fire alarm testing. Their consulting background includes architectural acoustic, mechanical noise control, and audio/video systems work, along with experience addressing sound isolation, environmental noise, mechanical equipment noise, and vibration-related concerns.

In addition to consulting and expert witness work, they have delivered lectures, seminars, and presentations on acoustic metrics and testing principles, the positive impact of acoustics, community noise acoustics, architectural acoustics, acoustic principles, LEED acoustics applications, and design strategies for identifying and addressing acoustic problems. Their professional affiliations include the American Institute of Architects, Acoustical Society of America, National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, National Council of Acoustical Consultants, and Institute of Noise Control Engineering. They hold a Bachelor of Architecture degree, with additional coursework involving environmental systems, theatre management, historic preservation, architectural studies, design lab work, and physical music acoustics. They have 16 years of expert witness consulting experience, including deposition, arbitration, and court testimony experience. Their litigation-related work has involved acoustical testing and expert witness matters concerning condominium sound isolation, noise complaints, elevator noise, fitness facility noise, community noise, and other acoustical performance issues. Their background also includes architectural, consulting, and principal-level responsibilities in acoustical consulting and architectural practice, with work involving acoustical design review, environmental noise measurements, sound testing methodologies, mechanical noise mitigation, and noise code and ordinance issues.
