Accident Reconstructionist in Training (320+ hours) - courses include: At-Scene Traffic Crash/Traffic Homicide Investigation, Advanced Traffic Crash Investigation, Traffic Crash Reconstruction, Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) Data Tool Analyst, Motorcycle Crashes - Level II, Commercial Motor Vehicle Crash Investigation - Level I (IP). Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering, where I was an Advancing Sciences in America (ARCS) Scholar and Dwight D. Eisenhower Transportation Fellow (FHWA). During my Ph.D., I worked in a full-scale driving simulator and studied driver behavior (visual attention, stress levels, speed) around their interactions with bicyclists at intersections, user perceptions of bike turnouts, and human interactions with fully autonomous vehicles. I have conducted research for the NCHRP, NHTSA, and Oregon DOT. Subsequently, I have extensive experience with technical correspondence and creating and delivering presentations to panels and technical advisory com...

Traffic Engineering, Construction Defects - Traffic Signal, Trucks, Pedestrians, Crash, Traffic Accident, Work Zone, Roadway, Sight Distance

I have 44 years of hands-on technical experience in the traffic engineering field, running my own consulting firm for 34 of those years. I am a recognized national expert in traffic signal operation, timing, design, and construction and am also very proficient in pavement marking design, roadway signing, and work zone traffic control. However, I am not an accident reconstruction expert. I have participated in over 260 cases nationwide with many of these cases involving deposition and mediation testimony and a number of these cases going all the way to trial. I have given both live and videotaped testimony and have testified for both the plaintiff and the defense. It should be emphasized that I am a practicing engineer and that my expert testimony work constitutes only a portion of my engineering practice.
