Partner | Áreté Forensics
Mechanical Engineer | Professional Engineer | Forensic Engineer
Forensic mechanical engineer specializing in accident reconstruction, machinery and equipment failures, and mechanical-system investigations. Applies engineering mechanics, kinematics, energy transfer, failure analysis, and human-machine interaction principles to reconstruct incidents, evaluate system performance, and determine causation.
Investigates incidents involving heavy equipment, industrial machinery, vehicles, consumer products, premises systems, and components within the built environment. Conducts site inspections, evidence documentation, testing, engineering analysis, and standards-based evaluations using applicable codes, industry standards, and accepted forensic methodologies.
Experience includes analysis of vehicle and equipment accidents, mechanical failures, industrial safety events, aerial devices, elevators, hydraulic systems, agricultural equipment, access-control systems, and product-defect claims. Utilizes photogrammetry, LiDAR, CAD, and engineering analysis tools to evaluate physical evidence and event dynamics.
Additional investigative experience includes premises liability, industrial safety, OSHA-related incidents, product liability, maintenance and inspection failures, machine guarding, operator interaction, visibility analysis, and risk-mitigation evaluation.
Provides technically grounded opinions and expert testimony in litigation matters involving mechanical failure, industrial safety, accident causation, product liability, premises liability, safety systems, and risk evaluation. Background in engineering design, project management, and instruction supports clear communication of complex technical issues to attorneys, judges, juries, and arbitrators.
Member: National Academy of Forensic Engineers, Society of Automotive Engineers, American Society of Safety Professionals.
