Standard of care expert in the operation of a bicycle in an urban environment, I have testified numerous times in collisions, falls and product liability cases. The recipient of the prestigious 1995 National Award of Excellence in Law Enforcement Training for Individual Achievement, I was the founder of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Bike Patrol Unit, initiating urban patrolling by bicycle in California starting in 1988. Called, "The Guru of mountain bike policing" by Bicycle Guide Magazine, my qualifications go beyond just patrolling to include Police Cycling Instructor Certification from the International Police Mountain Bike Association, and the Effective Cycling program from the League of American Bicyclists. I co-wrote the P.O.S.T. guidelines for policing by bicycle in California. I am the only "standard of care expert" in the nation that is a certified Effective Cyclist Instructor, Police Cyclist Instructor and certified traffic investigator with invaluable on scene experience. I have been quoted in The LA Times, Southwest Cycling, Competitor, and Bicycling Magazines. A court recognized reconstructionist, I know vehicle laws, accident investigation, and analysis of collisions.
