Started, own, and operate Permit Philly. Permit Philly is a full-service permit acquisition company in Philadelphia that gets building and zoning permits as quickly and simply as possible for homeowners and developers alike. I stay up-to-date on the Philadelphia Code (and particularly the Zoning Code), and work directly with staff at all the reviewing departments of the City of Philadelphia. I consult clients about what permits they need and how to get them; and coordinate with architects, engineers, and City officials to properly file and retrieve the permits. I oversee the operations of the company as well, handling invoicing, client communications, and the selection of vendors and web services. I also write the copy for and design the website. Show less
