This expert witness is a Professional Engineer with more than 25 years of experience in acoustical engineering, with a practice focused on architectural and forensic acoustics, particularly in aeronautical and aerospace environments. Their expert witness work includes consultations, depositions, and courtroom testimony in matters involving environmental noise, audio analysis, and acoustic performance, including documented case involvement addressing airport operations, community noise exposure, and audibility.

Their work encompasses a range of acoustical and engineering disciplines. Core areas include airport and air traffic noise studies, environmental and community noise assessment and monitoring, and sound insulation evaluation associated with residential and commercial developments near transportation infrastructure. Additional expertise includes acoustic design and management, land use considerations related to noise exposure, and digital signal processing. The expert’s forensic work also involves audio and video recording analysis, including authentication and gunshot acoustics and audibility, as well as engineering management and project management within acoustical consulting engagements. Experience reflects sustained responsibility for large-scale acoustical and environmental projects, including management of FAA-sponsored sound insulation programs, environmental noise assessments, and architectural acoustics design initiatives. Project and case work includes airport noise studies, land use litigation matters, and crash hazard analyses for municipalities and aviation-related entities, as well as preparation of acoustical evaluations and reports in support of legal proceedings. This work has involved organizations such as the Transportation Research Board, National Academies, Federal Aviation Administration-related programs, and multiple international and domestic airport projects, including litigation concerning airport noise impacts and environmental compliance.

Professional credentials include licensure as a Professional Engineer and board certification through the Institute of Noise Control Engineering. Educational background includes a Master of Science in Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, along with graduate-level business studies. The expert has contributed to standards and technical frameworks through involvement with the American National Standards Institute, including development of outdoor sound propagation guidelines, and participation in the Transportation Research Board, Acoustical Society of America, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Airport Consultants Council. Additional contributions include authorship of airport sound insulation guidance through the Transportation Research Board and participation in editorial advisory work related to airport noise publications.
