Certificate and email signature

President · DP Group, Inc.

My entire career has prepared me for this role. Four decades in field automation, enterprise‑grade operations, mobile datacom, documentation governance, and trucking leadership have given me a rare vantage point: I understand both the technical and operational realities of carrier safety, and I know exactly where the industry is failing. CADET, EDSL, and PACE are the culmination of that experience — a litigation‑resilient architecture that replaces subjectivity with evidence, replaces inconsistency with automation, and replaces risk with defensible, documented behavior. My role is to bring that discipline to the carriers who want to operate responsibly, and to expose the ones who don’t. I would rather stand up a litigation‑resilient safety framework that protects drivers, carriers, and the motoring public than dismantle a carrier that is indifferent to safety — but either way, the motoring public wins, they have to. With the right experts across maintenance, insurance, legal, and operations, we can push for smarter legislative direction, elevate industry standards, and eliminate the corrupt, harmful practices that have taken root among shippers, brokers, and negligent carriers. I can help lead that effort — because the industry needs someone who can speak both the language of operations and the language of evidence.

Public highway-safety advocate, crash-survivor advocate, Safety Consultant, or Expert Witness

Qualifications for this seat

A public highway-safety advocate, crash-survivor advocate, safety consultant or expert witness with relevant safety experience.

  • Explaining safety concerns and the effects of commercial-vehicle crashes.
  • Constructive collaboration with people who bring different industry and family perspectives.

What this seat contributes

  • Review proposed standards for public-safety relevance and practical prevention opportunities.
  • Contribute experience evaluating safety evidence and communicating its limits.
  • Recommend education and improvements that connect standards to real-world decisions.
  • Help keep the effects on road users and crash survivors present in Council deliberations.

Responsibilities throughout Council service

  • Maintain the individual Council pledge, apply published requirements fairly and place the integrity of the Standard above personal or commercial interests.
  • Protect confidential information, provide annual conflict disclosures, disclose changes promptly and recuse when required.
  • Follow the Charter’s ethics and competition safeguards. Committee leadership and additional assignments require separate discussion and authorization where applicable.

Service commitment

Unpaid service, with an initial estimate of 2–4 hours per month on average. Meetings are expected at least quarterly, ordinarily 60–90 minutes. Workload varies; substantial extra assignments are discussed first.

Seat terms are normally three years; founding staggered terms and replacement appointments may be shorter. This member’s recorded term dates appear above. Council service is an individual program advisory and review appointment, not a corporate director or officer appointment.

Requirements before appointment

Applicants provide a résumé and signed individual pledge, complete qualification, background and conflict review, and undergo separate secure identity verification, normally including government ID and facial recognition through FreightValidate/AU10TIX, or a documented lawful equivalent where applicable. Appointment also requires pledge approval and a recorded Council approval vote. Prior Pledge Signatory or Recognized Participant approval is not required to apply.

This section explains the requirements of the seat. It does not publish the member’s private verification documents, disclosures or review records. Seat-specific contributions are examples within the shared Charter duties.
