Crime Scene Analysis and Shooting Reconstruction
My primary interest is in the reconstruction of shooting incidents, the human and mechanical dynamics of shooting and the science of wound ballistics which relates to the use of firearms against humans and specifically to the interaction of projectiles and the human body.
I perform bloodspatter analysis and and ballistic research with high-speed video, still camera systems and a micro-second ballistic radar system.
I am also a forensic photographer specializing in crime scene, evidence, and wound photography, digital imaging -- and video, photograph, and image analysis.

Forensic Graphics and Animation
Whenever appropriate, I create demonstrative exhibit: illustrations, forensic exhibits, or animations to highlight important points.
These visuals are often highly effective in helping a jury grasp the incident dynamics or the relationship of key evidence items.
Forensic Video Analysis
I provide specialized forensic video enhancement, clarification, and analysis of surveillance footage, body-cam recordings, dash-cam videos, and mobile phone evidence from crime scenes.
Services include:
Enhancing low-light or blurry images

Height estimation and gait analysis
Timeline reconstruction
Object/person identification and license plate recovery
