I am a Forensics Engineer that specializes in various fields including vehicle crash reconstruction involving commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, motorcycles, bicyclist, and pedestrians, commercial and consumer product safety and liability, workplace safety, and heavy machinery safety.  Basically if something moves and it fails or caused an undesirable incident, I use math and science to analyze evidence to determine how it did or could have happened.   I am also a Licensed Professional Engineer in the states of Arizona, California, and Colorado.  

I have been involved with SASE for over a decade and held volunteer positions at various levels of SASE, including being part of planning committees of past National Conferences.   I am currently the President of the SASE PRO Colorado Chapter. My favorite hobby is snowboarding (resort and backcountry), typically trying to get anywhere between 30 to 60 days per season.
