From serving as CEO of small organizations to leading one of the fastest growing cities in the country and a team of more than 1,500 employees, Paul has learned what it takes to build strong teams, grow leaders, navigate union relationships, and plan for sustainable success. Building leaders who know their God-given purpose is not just something he does well—it’s what drives him.

Too many hard-charging leaders are winning in the boardroom but losing on the scale. Crushing the balance sheet while their family falls apart. Paul understands that true leadership demands more than professional success; it requires alignment of mind, body, faith, family, and business. He’s lived that balance, mastered its discipline, and now shares a sustainable framework to help senior leaders in both the public and private sectors to thrive in every dimension of life.

Leadership Labs unite your organization’s top leaders through an intensive, confidential development experience designed to help identify blind spots, grow self awareness, and build “Level 10” leadership skills.

Custom cohorts are developed for large organizations that are committed to help team members build legacy, expand influence, and creating last impact.

Long before “social media” was a household term, Paul built a digital marketing agency from the ground up—one that landed on the Inc. 5000 list five years in a row. After successfully selling the company, he brought that entrepreneurial mindset into public service as mayor of one of America’s fastest growing cities. Paul understands how to take a mission, break it down into measurable goals, and align people and resources to make it happen.

Whether he’s helping an organization sharpen its vision, getting a leadership team on the same page, or streamlining governmental workflow, Paul’s depth of experience brings practical insights, entrepreneurial energy, and a data-driven mindset to each unique challenge.

As mayor of one of America’s fastest growing cities for eight years, Paul navigated major crises (remember 2020-2021, anyone?) under intense public and media scrutiny, working alongside local, state, and federal leaders to protect trust and lead with clarity. He’s also seen leaders and organizations wilt under a lack of media strategy.

Before public service, he spent a decade running a marketing technology agency, helping organizations shape messages and manage reputation at scale. Today, he brings those experiences together to help organizations prepare for and navigate moments of crisis—cutting through chaos, aligning leadership, and communicating with credibility when it matters most.
