Expert Witness Services
I am a certified Force Science Analyst who has completed the rigorous Advanced Force Science course. Over the past two decades I have blended practical field experience with the latest scientific research on threat perception, decision‑making under stress, and lethal‑force dynamics. My work focuses on translating force‑science principles into effective training and clear, evidence‑based analysis for legal proceedings. I have been invited to speak at major industry events—including the Gun Symposium and Gun Owners Radio—and I regularly contribute articles to leading publications in the personal‑defense community.
