Plaintiff’s Expert

About

With over four decades of experience in engineering, building, and designing safety systems for the aerial adventure and amusement ride industry, my work focuses on advancing safety through innovative practices. As a Plaintiff’s Expert, I contribute technical expertise in certified training and hazard mitigation, with a specific focus on zipline braking systems. My career has been dedicated to reducing risks and improving safety standards in the industry by addressing systemic failures, including weak training and poor hazard recognition. I continue to leverage my engineering background and certifications to design, inspect, and promote safe aerial adventure attractions while serving as an expert witness to provide insights on causation and liability in injury cases.
