I have 35 years of experience, and specialize in the field of rail transportation with specific knowledge in the areas of operations, regulations, safety, appraisals and evaluations. I have published on such topics as rail industry trends and indicators, history of rail regulations and changes and pivotal railroad acquisitions. I have testified 11 times on topics such as railroad property damage, railcar warranties and evaluations and job injury and safety protocols. I have been a part of many monumental changes in the rail transportation industry, including the mergers of all the current Class I railroads and rule changes that have influenced the entire industry’s future.
