“I had the pleasure of working with Paul as his client and coworker for many years. His marketing and advertising talents are impressive - an expert in brand strategy, marketing and communications; a big-picture creative visionary who quickly grasps client objectives then consistently offers intelligent brand and marketing strategies; a focused, natural leader who is unafraid of rolling up his sleeves to ensure any marketing-related initiative is realized to its full potential.

Paul is a versatile, hands-on marketing professional with an extensive tool kit to draw from. Coming aboard with TechWood, he quickly assessed, developed, and implemented a cohesive, integrated communications and brand plan covering messaging, copywriting, artwork, media, and even video production. No challenge was too great or detail too small for Paul, and he has my full endorsement..

“Paul is one of the few marketing leaders I’ve worked with in my 30-year career who manages to stay true to the mission and to the people at the same time. He is one of these go-to-the-mat, bad-ass leaders who gets results because he can’t live in a world where we cut corners, placate clients rather than tell them the truth, or give up on striving for the ideal. And, Paul nurtures talent wherever he finds it because he can’t turn away from a great idea, no matter who it comes from”

Paul has a deft, subtle touch when it comes to developing the direction of a brand.”
