|---|
| Professional Engineer - State of Texas |
| Publications and Patents Summary |
|---|
| He has 16 publications |
Additional Experience
| Expert Witness Experience |
|---|
| He has consulted on two legal cases. Both cases were resolved favorably to the client for whom he consulted. In both cases he provided consulting to the legal team and was prepared to testify but never needed to. My work in both cases was to provide process technical and safey analyses and to review, describe, and evaluate hydrocarbon processing facility management and operation. |
