Engineering, Fire - Fire, Fire Protection, Sprinkler, Fire Alarm, Corrosion, Fire Protection Engineering, Fire detection, Forensic engineering, Modeling

I am a professional engineer with more than 30 years’ experience related to the design and installation of fire protection and fire alarm systems. Throughout the course of my career, I have performed numerous fire and loss investigations for cases involving fires, fire protection system inadvertent discharges, fire protection and fire alarm system malfunctions, improper building and fire protection system design, and improper building construction. I have deposition and trial experience and have forensically analyzed a wide range of cases and assisted clients in litigation matters. I have technical experience with the design of water-based fire suppression, gaseous suppression, fire alarm and emergency communication systems, code-consulting, forensics/litigation support, corrosion evaluations, research/fire testing, fire/smoke modeling and timed-egress analyses. I have experience with the development, installation, instrumentation, completion, and evaluation of small- and large-...
