In My Own Words
I came up as an antenna engineer at Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space, then wrote software for Motorola Broadband Communications before joining the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences, a federal telecommunications research lab in Boulder, CO.
That work — satellite antenna design and testing, RF propagation measurement, wireless interference, LTE testing, GPS, video quality standards — was built, shipped, or peer-reviewed and published. It taught me that a result is only as good as the method behind it.
I only take litigation-support work, for plaintiff or defense counsel, in civil and criminal matters. I keep my clients informed as the investigation develops. I answer my phone when you call, and I don’t over schedule myself so I can be available when you need me.

No Daubert challenge has ever succeeded against me.
Opposing counsel is actively looking for a reason to exclude your expert before trial starts. In 100+ retained matters, not one of my opinions has been limited or excluded — because the methods behind them are documented, reproducible, and grounded in accepted engineering practice.

Plain language on the stand
Juries don't need a lecture on circuit theory. They need to understand what happened, why the analysis is sound, and how it is meaningful.
