What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead permitting and regulatory strategy for energy or development projects—building repeatable processes, guiding teams, and working with AHJs and stakeholders to secure approvals efficiently and confidently.

I’m a Permitting Manager who secures approvals to move projects from application to full construction—handling everything from CUP/IUPs and building permits to stormwater and erosion requirements. I supervise and hire permitting specialists, develop internal processes (including a permit tracking matrix), and ensure every team member can answer questions even without on-site work. I work directly with Project Managers, Engineers, Construction, Environmental, Title, and landowners, while reviewing engineering site plans against local AHJ requirements.

I also bring long-running operational and leadership experience from roles as President/Partner, Director of Operations for Construction & Materials, and volunteer/director positions where compliance, training, and risk mitigation mattered every day. I’m comfortable interfacing with owners, financiers/investors, vendors, tenants, and municipal officials, and I present confidently at public meetings to help obtain approvals in writing. I’ve emphasized community outreach and clear communication throughout—aiming to build trust and reduce permitting friction.
