Expert Witness for Vehicle Barrier & Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Cases
Nationally recognized consultant with 37+ years in construction and security, 18+ years specializing in hostile vehicle mitigation, ASTM committee member, and experience with some of North America's largest perimeter security deployments.
Most vehicle intrusion incidents are not random accidents—they are the result of preventable design failures, inadequate protection, or a misunderstanding of applicable standards. Determining whether reasonable security measures were implemented requires more than reviewing photographs or reading specifications. It requires practical experience designing, evaluating, and implementing vehicle mitigation systems in the real world.
