Expert profile

Summary
Initially trained as an offshore diver in the 1980s, I have gathered over 30 years of senior experience in the oil industry in complex, challenging locations across the globe. That current experience combined with extensive training and continual CPD, has established my reputation as a reliable Technical Authority and Diving Expert Witness. I am a fully vetted and accredited Individual Member of the Expert Witness Institute, a vetted and accredited full member of the Academy of Experts with training at Bond Solon and have a wealth of experience in Expert Determination and Early Expert Evaluation. I am also a Accident/Incident Investigation Root Cause Specialist, a registered Civil Mediation Council, and CEDR Accredited Mediator.
