“Education has become my life’s work,” declares Paul. “Our world’s problems are complex, but I believe that both our educational system and our youth are up to the challenge.” Paul’s specialty is campus planning. “Much of our work relating to campus strategy and analytics is about optimizing performance with limited resources, which helps our educational institutions survive and thrive,” he suggests. “Finding new and creative ways to increase efficiency and re-use not only helps the bottom line, but also helps our environment. I believe that we have a duty to be stewards of both our building and natural environments.” Living in Colorado, Paul takes advantage of ample opportunities to appreciate nature. “I love to ski,” he says. “There’s nothing better than being on top of a mountain on a bluebird day.”
