Years of Experience
Being around construction sites from the age of 15 on, steered Paul in the direction of architecture. He was working in his first post-college position when he joined with four other colleagues in 2003 to form Abacus Architects. Paul professes to have more of an engineering brain than an “artsy” brain, and he relishes the challenge of taking a design sketch and turning it into something buildable. In his role as COO, he now has dedicated time to concentrate on the business side of the firm, while still working closely with the project managers. Paul’s specialty is both the senior living and multifamily sectors, and clients appreciate his curated knowledge.
“The Pine Haven senior living project allowed us to do something special and become involved in the clinical side of things to understand what works and what doesn’t.”
“From the start clients know that I’m going to be their guy, their contact person, and see their project all the way through.”
