With over 30 years in the fire protection field, Paul is renowned as a problem solver, teacher, and mentor to all. In addition to his experience on thousands of projects across the United States and overseas, he currently serves as the faculty chair for the IAVM's Academy for Venue Safety and Security where he has access to the top venue risk managers in the world. He teaches AIA certified Health, Safety, and Welfare classes to architects across the country. His deep knowledge of the intent of the code along with his passion and humor resulted in his students proclaiming: "He makes building codes sexy!" This manner of presenting technical issues to non-technical audiences greatly increases his credibility in front of building and fire officials, appeals boards, and juries. Paul is happy that through Forza Consultants he can continue to help his many friends bring their dream projects to fruition.
