Paul, an electrical engineer by trade, joined the company—then known as KJWW—as its 16th employee in 1976. His dedication and leadership propelled him to the role of president in 2003, when the firm had 200 employees and four locations in the Midwest. In 2015, Paul embarked on a bold vision for growth, expanding IMEG through a combination of organic development and strategic acquisitions. Under his leadership, IMEG has grown into a national powerhouse with over 90 office locations, 3,000 team members, and top national rankings on both ENR’s Top 500 Design Firms and BD+C Giants lists.

Paul’s achievements have earned him numerous accolades, most recently ENR’s Midwest Legacy Award in 2023. He is a member of the Design Futures Council, NSPE, IES, and AEE, and serves on IMEG’s Board of Directors. Beyond IMEG, Paul is actively involved in the broader community, having chaired multiple non-profits, and is a member of Strategic Coach, Chief Executive Network, and a regular attendee at the EFCG annual conference.
