About
I provide equipment appraisals, appraisal reviews, and consulting support for litigation, insurance, acquisition, and financial reporting. I have an in-depth understanding of appraisal and accounting standards and can clearly explain them in contentious situations.
I specialize in appraising equipment for food & beverage processing, including wineries; manufacturing & factory production, aggregate, recycling, and construction, agriculture, including specialty planters and harvesters, and commercial trucks & trailers. I have extensive experience appraising specialty and custom equipment.
An Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) of the American Society of Appraisers in Machinery and Equipment (MTS) and Appraisal Review & Management (ARM), and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), I was recognized in 2022 as ASA Appraiser of the Year.
My reports are defensible, unbiased, professionally researched, and understandable. As an expert witness, I provide clear and reasoned oral testimony based on defendable USPAP review standards that can withstand the scrutiny of the legal system. I have been a court-appointed expert in CA Section 2000 cases and has often served as a jointly retained expert. I have developed and taught a number of appraisal review courses for ASA, as well as an MTS report-writing class.
