About

Board-Certified Forensic Engineering Expertise with Clarity and Credibility backed with 30 Years Experience. Construction Defects, Roofing, Structural Engineering

I am a Board-Certified Diplomate in Forensic Engineering (DFE) and a licensed structural forensic consultant and testifying expert witness, recognized as a Florida Board Recognized Structural Engineer (FRSE) and Model Law Engineer (MLE). With over 30 years of experience, I specialize in inspecting, documenting, and evaluating property damage caused by natural elements such as hail, wind, and water. My primary goal is to accurately determine the cause and origin of failures and help resolve claims efficiently — ideally keeping your file out of court. However, when litigation is necessary, I bring proven courtroom experience, having been deposed or testified 11 times in the last four years. At MSD Engineering, I personally manage each case to ensure scientifically sound evaluations and timely delivery of litigation-ready reports. Insurance Companies, Defense and Plaintiff Lawyers, and Homeowners trust my independent and unbiased approach, receiving the integrity and attention that only direct expert involvement can provide.
