Biomechanical Research & Testing, LLC, Long Beach, CA, June 2005 - Present, Biomechanical Engineer and Accident Reconstructionist / Partner 

• Conducts research on the biomechanics, human response and injury potential of vehicular impacts and other activities. Performs fully instrumented tests utilizing human subjects and/or human surrogates. Data collected and analyzed include accelerations, velocities, displacements, GPS, forces, electromyography and high-speed film/video. Has conducted over 1,500 instrumented vehicle impact tests involving human subjects and/or surrogates for vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to pedestrian impacts. Has evaluated vehicular impact behavior, including various techniques for measuring vehicle crush and the assessment of vehicle damage, as well as vehicle crash and post-impact dynamics. Has conducted crash tests for various televised programs regarding automotive impacts and occupant response to impact. Conducted research regarding the use of photogrammetry in accident reconstruction. 
• Conducts fully instrumented human subject testing of amusement park attractions. Has tested roller coasters, water rides, go-kart/bumper cars, and additional attractions for purposes of ride evaluation, design and development. Currently serves on the ASTM F- 24 biodynamic testing subcommittee to develop biodynamic standards for testing and evaluation of amusement park rides. 
• Performs biomechanical and accident reconstruction analyses of automotive accidents and various events for purposes of litigation, including impact reconstruction, occupant kinematics, occupant force exposure and injury potential. 

Clark Training Center, Law Enforcement & Public Safety Training, June 2009 - 2013, Instructor – Traffic Collision Investigation (TCI) – Reconstruction (POST certified) 

• Teach a half day course as part of the Advanced Accident Reconstruction training. Topics taught include Airbag-Related Injuries and Pedestrian Accident Reconstruction and Biomechanics.

Accident Research and Biomechanics, Inc., Valencia, CA, January 1999 - June 2005, Research Engineer 

• Responsible for the reconstruction and biomechanical analysis of accidents involving automobiles, trucks, buses, motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians. Evaluation of vehicle dynamics, impact severity, injury potential, occupant kinematics and slip and fall accidents. Research included pedestrian crash testing, pedestrian gait studies, low- speed rear-end volunteer testing, low-speed lateral impacts using human volunteers, vehicle dynamics of low-speed vehicles and biomechanical analysis of slip and fall. 

California State University, Northridge, Northridge, CA, September 1999 - December 2000, Instructor – Department of Kinesiology 

• Taught an undergraduate level, upper division biomechanics lab. Also appeared as a guest lecturer on forensic biomechanics for undergraduate biomechanics class. 

Collision Research and Analysis, Inc., Torrance, CA, March 1998 - December 1998, Research Engineer 

• Analysis and reconstruction of automobile, auto-pedestrian, truck, bicycle and motorcycle collisions. Also participated in occupant kinematics analysis as it relates to accident reconstruction, vehicle component testing and visibility testing. Vehicle component testing included static seat pull testing, door latch testing, steering wheel and steering column testing and liftgate assembly and latch testing, including design and construction of the test fixture.
