Aviation Maintenance Expert Witness and Technical Consulting.

Compliance and safety, from both sides of the table.
I help you catch problems before there’s a finding, and when there’s already a dispute, I give an independent expert opinion on what the record shows.

Solutions not short term fixes.

Generally, you already know where your problems exist, but sometimes you need non-biased confirmation, and someone committed to finding solutions utilizing tools that already exist within YOUR organization. As Aries7 founder and principal I will help from the floor to your door.
