About The Founder

After graduating from Temple University with a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering, I worked on the design and construction of government facilities critical to national security. Later in my career, I worked for a manufacturer of systems used to transport and store nuclear fuel rods. I wrote design specifications for nuclear equipment, analyzed the structural integrity of equipment designed to handle and carry nuclear fuel, and evaluated the susceptibility of the nuclear fuel storage systems to disasters like hurricanes, tornados, and explosions. In other words, the stakes were very high and getting it right was essential to ensuring the safety of everyone on site at the nuclear power plant as well as the surrounding communities.

A lifelong passion for cars (and a strong preference to get out of the office and into the field) motivated a career transition into crash investigation and reconstruction. With a deeply ingrained safety culture mindset from the nuclear industry, I soon realized it was not enough for me to study and analyze crashes - I wanted to use my skill set and advanced knowledge to prevent the most severe and tragic crashes from happening.  Our guiding principal at Evident is that evidence preservation benefits everyone and should be affordable and accessible to local communities. Getting fast, reliable, and accurate answers saves money when disputes arise and improves decision making in Vision Zero and Safe Streets efforts but, first, it requires strong evidence and skilled investigators to preserve it.

At Evident, we seek to establish ourselves at the highest tier of integrity and technical excellence such that seeing “Evident Forensics” at the top of a page instills overwhelming confidence in the accuracy and integrity of what follows. We continue to encourage a questioning attitude, won’t shy away from technical challenges, and will lead the industry by demonstrating the best practice of clearly and confidently documenting our work.
