• Engineer-in-Training (EIT)

• Pursuing Professional Engineer (P.E.) Licensure

• Trained in passenger vehicle crash investigation

• Trained in commercial vehicle crash investigation

• Event Data Recorder (EDR) imaging and analysis

• Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Drone) operations for evidence documentation

Riley's work focuses on accident investigation and evidence collection, including:

• Traffic accident investigation

• Passenger vehicle crash analysis

• Commercial vehicle crash analysis

• Crash scene documentation

• Vehicle inspections

• Event Data Recorder (EDR) imaging

• Drone-based aerial photography

• Physical evidence collection

• Collision documentation

• Reconstruction support and analysis

As a member of Adamson Engineering's investigative team, Riley assists with the collection and analysis of critical evidence related to vehicle collisions.

His responsibilities include:

• Investigating collision scenes

• Inspecting damaged vehicles

• Downloading and imaging Event Data Recorder (EDR) data

• Gathering physical and digital evidence

• Conducting aerial documentation using drone technology

• Assisting with reconstruction analyses and reporting

Through detailed documentation and evidence preservation, Riley helps support the engineering analyses used to determine contributing factors and crash sequences.

Outside of work, Riley enjoys spending time outdoors and has a lifelong appreciation for farm and ranch life. Growing up in Brownwood, Texas, in a family involved in agriculture, he developed a passion for working on trucks, tractors, skid steers, ATVs, and other equipment. Whether solving mechanical challenges or exploring new technologies, Riley enjoys hands-on projects that combine practical problem-solving with engineering principles. His interest in the outdoors and mechanical systems continues to influence both his personal life and his approach to accident reconstruction.
