Chief Engineer | Convertible Design & Structural Engineering Specialist

For over four decades, I have dedicated my career to the art and science of custom convertible engineering — transforming complex automotive platforms into structurally reinforced, road-ready open-air automobiles.
Through Newport Convertible Engineering (NCE), a curated showcase of my body of work, I present more than 700+ bespoke convertible commissions completed worldwide. Each project reflects precision structural engineering, refined design integration, and a disciplined approach to safety, rigidity, and functional durability.
My work spans luxury marques, specialty vehicles, and highly individualized commissions for discerning clients across the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Every conversion requires comprehensive structural analysis, reinforcement engineering, mechanical system integration, and detailed fit-and-finish execution.
Convertible engineering is not cosmetic modification — it is structural transformation. Proper execution demands decades of experience in chassis reinforcement, load redistribution, rigidity preservation, and real-world drivability validation. My focus has always been to ensure that design ambition is matched by engineering discipline.
