Structural Engineering, Construction Defects - Codes, Civil Engineering, Steel, Masonry, Failure, Corrosion, Seismic, Wind, Collapse, Prestressed Concrete, Post-tensioned Concrete, Facade, Cladding, Leaking, Leakage, Decay, Wood, Structural Engineering, Timber, Concrete

As an engineer, I am fascinated by complexity and understanding new and different situations. I love to talk about engineering and explaining engineering processes and principles to young engineers and lay persons is personal passion. Examining a structural failure brings out my inner researcher, and explaining the cause and physics to a jury or arbitration panel channels my teacher personality. I work as a forensic engineer with the intent of helping the legal industry understand engineering principles and to help citizens resolve their disputes justly. I began professional practice at kpff in Portland, OR in 1998. In 2001, I was hired by DCI Engineers. In 2003, I started my own consulting engineering firm which I continue to operate. I have designed concrete, steel, masonry and wood structures, generally commercial, government or schools. About half of my work has been design of building facades or cladding systems. Seeking new challenges, I joined the faculty at the University o...
