Comboy holds a master’s degree in preservation studies from the Tulane School of Architecture as well as a master’s degree in business administration from the University of New Orleans. His professional focus centers on the issues of planning, permitting and usage that affect emerging businesses trying to navigate municipal regulations. He consults with an emphasis on protecting and revitalizing the historic fabric of neighborhoods while helping entrepreneurs initiate the start-up process.
