A career spent testing windows — first inside an accredited laboratory, now independently for the people who need straight answers about them.
[Confirm this is Jimmy] In the lab, beside a masked test specimen. A formal portrait can replace this shot when available. Jimmy Cruz runs the laboratory at FTL, an accredited fenestration test lab, where he has spent [X years — confirm] testing windows, doors, and glazing systems against ASTM, AAMA, and NAFS standards — for manufacturers seeking certification and for field investigations of installed product.
That active laboratory practice is the foundation of his consulting work: he personally runs the tests most experts only cite, and he has seen — across [hundreds/thousands — confirm] of specimens — exactly how and where fenestration products fail. His expertise isn't from a past chapter of his career; it's what he does every week.
Window Testing & Consulting is his independent practice, serving attorneys, contractors, manufacturers, architects, and building owners across [region — confirm].
[These are the real industry credential programs for this field — confirm with Jimmy which he holds, delete the rest, and add any others:]

Reports and testimony written so an owner, a judge, or a jury can follow the physics.
