I am a certified quality engineer by the American Society for Quality. College degrees are a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from the State College of New York at Buffalo, and a Master of Science degree in technology management from the University of Denver.
For continuing education, I attend at least two conferences each year in forensics and/or forensic document examination. I have attend educational meetings at the Forensic Expert Witness Association. I am past president of the San Diego and represented the San Diego Chapter on the national board of directors and was conference chair for the 2015 conference.

I have been an invited speaker at many international, national, and local forensics and legal conferences including California Lawyers Association and California District Attorneys Association.

As a forensic document examiner, I have been qualified to testify in California Superior Court and Federal District Court. Cases have been worked from twenty-three states and four countries. Upon challenge from opposing counsel the Court has always declared I am qualified to testify at trial.
Before attending graduate school for forensic document examination, I worked for 30 years in information systems and software development. In the 1980s and 1990s I founded and ran a computer graphics software company that developed interactive graphics software for VAX computers.
Subsequent to that I managed information systems governance (called policies and standards) at Amgen, the largest biotechnology company.
In 1999 I earned an information systems audit certification (CISA) from information systems audit and control association (ISACA). This certification remains active.
