About

Building approvals, responsibly.

I'm a pre-development and commercial permitting leader with 10+ years navigating the full approval lifecycle for projects valued from $100K to $100M+ across all 50 states — from ground-up construction and tenant improvements to data centers, warehouse fulfillment, retail, and hospitality.

My background is unusual: I've worked both sides of the counter — as an ICC-certified Plans Examiner inside municipal building departments, and as the person navigating those same departments for national developers and brands. That dual perspective means fewer surprises, fewer resubmittals, and faster approvals.

ICC Certified Building Plans Examiner — B3

Dual Perspective

I've worked both sides of the counter.

01 / Inside the Counter

ICC-Certified Plans Examiner

Reviewed commercial and residential plans inside the City of Southlake and Town of Prosper building departments — evaluating IBC, IRC, IFC, zoning, and life-safety compliance. I know exactly what AHJs need to see, and why.

02 / Across the Counter

Client-Side Expediter

Now I navigate those same departments on behalf of national developers and brands. That dual perspective means fewer surprises, fewer resubmittals, and faster approvals for every project I take on.

The Approach

How complex projects get approved.

01

Due Diligence First

Every project begins with jurisdictional research, zoning analysis, and a clear permitting strategy — before design teams advance a single sheet.

02

Speak the AHJ's Language

Years on the review side mean I anticipate comments before they're written. Packages are assembled to be approved, not corrected.

03

Coordinate the Whole Field

Owner, GC, AOR/EOR, civil, fire, and vendors — I sit at the center, keeping every discipline aligned across the full approval lifecycle.

04

Deliver to C/O

From pre-application to Certificate of Occupancy, I own the timeline. On schedule, on budget, across all 50 states.

Areas of Expertise

Full-lifecycle, multi-jurisdictional.

01

Pre-Development & Entitlements

Zoning, land-use, rezoning, CUP/SUP, site plans, variances, platting, and Planning Commission / City Council hearings.

02

Full-Lifecycle Permitting

Due diligence through Certificate of Occupancy.

03

MHE Permitting

Conveyors, racking, mezzanines, sortation for warehouse & fulfillment.

04

Data Center Permitting

Complex multi-discipline industrial approvals.

05

AHJ & Regulatory Relations

DRC, P&Z, and municipal representation nationwide.

06

Fire & Life Safety

Sprinkler, high-piled storage, egress, alarm.

07

MEP & Civil / Site

Utilities, stormwater, right-of-way, grading.

08

Team Leadership

Building and mentoring permitting teams with AI-driven tools and continuous process improvement.

Experience

A decade across the counter.
