Principal Power System Engineer

Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

A utility power interruption can cost organizations thousands of dollars per minute, yet emergency power system generators and automatic transfer switches are often neglected until they fail. If you are navigating a high stakes power related dispute, you need a forensic investigator who can distill fragmented data into a clear, primary root cause. I specialize in forensic investigations and reliability consulting for mission critical power systems, transforming complex electrical failure data into defensible, factual reports that withstand intense scrutiny. I connect documented evidence, control system behaviors, and operational context to provide the objective, engineering clarity required for pre-litigation and case strategy. My qualifications are rooted in 35 years of international fieldwork and a rigorous academic foundation, including a Bachelor’s and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems) from Florida International University. I am an IEEE Senior Member, a California General Electrician, and an Eta Kappa Nu member. My expertise is bolstered by 13.5 years of manufacturer experience and extensive OEM certifications, including Caterpillar, Cummins, Generac, Kohler, Detroit Diesel, MTU, Basler, Clarke, and Woodward DSLC/MSLC systems. This proficiency is reinforced by U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy Damage Control training, ensuring a disciplined, systemic approach to facility evaluation. Since 2007, I have bridged the gap between raw maintenance data and forensic reality. I provide the uncompromising authority required to anchor your legal arguments in material facts. Contact my office to secure the analysis necessary to strengthen your case and ensure your resolution is grounded in verified, objective evidence.
