With Leslie, my wife of 46 years, let me welcome you to my site. I’m an engineer by training and life-long problem-solver, and the author of The Mitigation Handbook—a practical guide for professionals navigating the complexities of the property restoration industry. With over 30 years of experience in engineering, quality management, and technical leadership across aerospace, defense, and medical devices, I’m driven by a passion for precision, innovation, and helping others succeed.

When I’m not working or writing, you’ll find me adventuring with Leslie as we travel all over the country. We have eight amazing kids (yes, eight!) and nine grandchildren. We love participating in ministry, camping, swimming, and road-tripping.

Thanks for stopping by. I invite you to explore the site, connect, and discover tools and insights that can support your journey—wherever it’s headed.
