I am a professional sociologist specializing in forensic criminology and security management. I provide consulting and testifying expert services to attorneys involved in premises security litigation. My specialty focus areas include apartment security, parking lots, bars/nightclubs, hotels/motels, shopping malls, convenience stores and gas stations, and other venues. My investigative work also focuses on negligent hiring, retention, supervision, and training; and workplace violence. I specialize in crime foreseeability analysis, appropriate standards of care in the security industry, and analyses of the behavioral aspects of proximate causation.
