ACTAR Number 1927

I am an Engineer by degree and for over 45 years I have worked or consulted in the areas of vehicle dynamics, accident reconstruction and crashworthiness. I have participated in and conducted hundreds of instrumented crash tests and demonstrations including rollover, vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-barrier crash tests, including various vehicle types including automobiles, trucks, buses, trains and motor homes. The results of these tests and demonstrations have been published through organizations including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS), and the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM). I have evaluated and reconstructed approximately 3,000 accidents. Vehicles have included passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, large trucks, military vehicles, golf carts, fork lifts, transit buses, airport baggage trains, school buses and motorcycles. I have been accepted and testified as an expert witness in both Federal and State courts around the US and its possessions.
