Mr. Bonsall earned his Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) with a concentration in Dynamics, Controls, Vibrations, and Robotics from California State University, Long Beach. During his MSME program, he authored a thesis on the ability to control of an autonomous vehicle to avoid multiple collisions. Mr. Bonsall earned his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) with an Automotive Engineering concentration from California State University, Northridge in 2015. He was able to become involved with many projects such as the Formula SAE racecar. He was also trained in vehicle dynamics, internal combustion engines, automotive powertrains, and chassis and suspension design.
Mr. Bonsall began reconstructing traffic incidents in 2015. Prior to his work in accident reconstruction, he worked at an aftermarket automotive parts manufacturer conducting failure analysis and quality control. He has performed maintenance on vehicles from small, open-wheel racecars to half-ton pickup trucks. This experience allowed him to become acquainted with the dynamic handling differences between many different vehicle classifications and power transfer systems.
Mr. Bonsall has found himself creating a deep love for the science of reconstructing traffic incidents. He has been able to deeply immerse himself in the minute details of forensic analysis, obtaining and documenting evidence through inspecting vehicles and sites, virtually recreating incidents using advanced software packages such as PC-Crash and HVE, and acquiring numerous certifications and advanced knowledge to assist in his reconstructions. He brings a breadth of automotive knowledge and a new way of problem solving to the industry.
