Speakers
Kevin L. Brown, M.S., P.E., CFEI, CVFI
Engineer with Engineering Design & Testing Corp.As a youth, Mr. Brown often visited construction sites with his father, a civil engineer. Those experiences, in addition to a memorable middle school field trip to a local manufacturing facility, established his lifelong interest in how things work and how they are made. He earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, and a master’s degree in manufacturing systems engineering from Lehigh University. Mr. Brown began his career as a manufacturing engineer in the automotive industry, and eventually moved into engineering management and director roles. His experience includes the design and manufacture of automotive, appliance, industrial, and consumer products; successful start-up of several manufacturing lines and plants; consulting in a variety of industries; and teaching mechatronics and engineering at a community college.
Mr. Brown began training to conduct fire origin and cause investigations in 2012. In 2013, he was obtained Certified Fire and Explosion Investigator (CFEI) and Certified Vehicle Fire Investigator (CVFI) credentials from the National Association of Fire Investigators (NAFI). In addition, he has taken continuing education courses related to appliance and electrical fires, lithium-ion battery and solar panel fires, and fire safety engineering.
