A licensed architect with multi-decade experience across residential, commercial, institutional, and national restaurant chain construction is uniquely positioned to provide authoritative expert witness testimony. I have been the designer, the contractor, the permit applicant, the person on-site when something went wrong, and the consultant called in years later to assess what should have been built versus what actually was. I held a California General Contractor license before I became an architect — I have sat at every seat at the table. That perspective is rare — and it is precisely what makes expert witness work a natural extension of this practice.
I am available to both plaintiff and defense counsel. My approach is straightforward: I provide an honest, independent professional opinion based on the evidence, applicable codes, and accepted standards of practice — and I communicate those findings clearly, whether in a written report, deposition, or courtroom testimony.
Licensed as an Architect in 20 states with NCARB Certification #57487, I am able to serve as an expert witness across a broad geographic range without the complications of out-of-state licensing issues.

Forty years of practice across building types, project roles, and jurisdictions produces a depth of technical authority that is difficult to replicate. The following areas represent the core of this expert witness practice.
I have been the designer, the contractor, the permit applicant, the person on-site when something went wrong, and the person who had to rebuild when things fell apart. I held a California General Contractor license before I became an architect — I have sat at every seat at the table. That is not a résumé line — it is a way of seeing problems that most architects simply have not had the chance to develop.
Initial consultations are available to determine whether the matter falls within the scope of this practice. I will review a brief summary of the case, identify the relevant areas of expertise, and give you a direct assessment of whether I am the right expert for the engagement.
I am available to both plaintiff and defense counsel and maintain my independence on every engagement. I do not offer pre-screened opinions. What you will receive is an honest, well-documented professional opinion grounded in 40+ years of licensed practice.
