Mr. Scaler is a Mechanical Engineer who evaluates vehicle performance and safety systems in real-world operating conditions, including crash and incident scenarios. He investigates and testifies in matters involving accident reconstruction, vehicle performance, and safety systems, including crash-sensing, restraint, collision avoidance, braking, and stability systems. His experience includes analysis of vehicle operation, handling and stability, and driver-vehicle interaction.
Mr. Scaler brings a rare skillset to forensic engineering. As a professional racecar driver and vehicle designer, he has firsthand insight into how vehicles and their systems behave, perform, and fail - a perspective he applies daily to complex cases.
Mr. Scaler’s background includes extensive experience in the design, development, testing, evaluation, and manufacture of automotive and off-road vehicle systems, including vehicle safety and control systems. This work has provided direct exposure to how vehicle subsystems perform and integrate within the broader vehicle architecture. He also has hands-on experience in vehicle assembly, maintenance, service, and repair from his work as a professional motorsports technician, constructor, and fabricator.
