How Paul is building a better working world

Paul has a passion for creating “win-win” recommendations that help citizens, companies and governments. He has worked on hundreds of projects that have helped open up employment opportunities, tax bases and a favorable business environment.

During Paul’s tenure, New Albany rose from the 64th-ranked among Ohio’s 660 academic public school districts to the 19th-ranked and significantly improved its financial forecast.
