"With eight years of service in the Colorado Springs City Attorney's Office, I bring insider knowledge of municipal approval processes. I authored substantial code revisions, advised on controversial applications, and guided projects through public hearings. Now in private practice, I help developers navigate municipal land use requirements throughout Colorado with the perspective of someone who wrote the rules."
