Craig A. Luker, P.E.

Craig A. Luker, P.E.

VP Canada & Northwest, Sr. Engineer

Craig joined our company in 2024 to add his extensive experience in accident reconstruction and business management to our team. His career of over 30 years has involved accident reconstruction and forensic engineering, other technical consulting, and owning/operating his own profitable businesses in multiple countries.

Craig is a dual citizen of the USA and Canada and holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from the Royal Military College of Canada. Craig also holds a Master of Science in Engineering – Interdisciplinary  Engineering - from Purdue University, in addition to a number of professional certifications and affiliations.

He started his engineering career doing flight testing and then left the military to do pursue mechanical engineering in industrial and construction fields. When he first encountered forensic engineering  in 1995, he knew he’d found his vocation. Craig’s eye for detail and analytical skills enable him solve challenging cases, and his communication and teaching abilities let him convey those findings in a way juries and attorneys can understand.

Craig is a father and husband who loves the outdoors, whether that is on skis in the mountains, hiking anywhere, or sailing on the ocean. A childhood in the mountains of British Columbia instilled a thirst for adventure and a healthy respect for nature.
