Profile Information

Lives in:: USA

Areas of expertise:: As a forensic engineer with extensive mechanical engineering and fire protection engineering experience involving insurance subrogation and product liability losses, I learned that the best way to satisfy clients was to clearly understand the scope of every assignment, and then quickly provide the answers they are seeking.

Integrity, service and quality, along with a positive attitude and the ability to quickly adapt to new situations have allowed me to achieve consistent and significant success in multiple disciplines. Repeat clients are the norm, not the exception.

My background includes more than seventeen years of experience in mechanical engineering, six years of fire protection engineering, and five years of forensic engineering. I am a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Illinois. I also have both a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering and Master’s Degree in Fire Protection Engineering.

Bio:: I am a Registered Professional Engineer, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Illinois Institute of Technology and a Master of Science degree in Fire Protection Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

I have an extensive professional and academic background in the areas of Mechanical Engineering and Fire Protection Engineering. Expertise includes Mechanical Design, Product Liability, Warnings, Testing, Failure Analysis and the Manufacturing of components and systems within the automotive, consumer electronics, agricultural, telecommunications, power generation, defense, industrial power tools, musical equipment, consumer appliance, and medical equipment industries. I have experience with the equipment and processes used in the manufacture of products including machine tools (lathes, mills, drills, grinders, saws, presses), injection molded plastics, extrusions, sheet metal fabrication, rapid prototyping processes, adhesives, magnets, human factors, and product packaging. Within the field of Fire Protection Engineering, I have expertise in the design and evaluation of fire alarm, automatic sprinkler, and fire suppression systems.
