As vice president of marketing, Paul leads the marketing team. Alongside his team, he coordinates Modern Wealth’s marketing strategy; manages the firm’s brand; and helps execute marketing assets like videos, podcasts, and designs.
Beginning his career in 2013, Paul joined Barber Financial Group (now Modern Wealth Management) as graphic designer/marketing coordinator. He later served as digital marketing director and director of marketing. Since the transition to Modern Wealth Management in April 2023, Paul has worked closely with the leadership team to develop the firm’s brand and marketing strategy.
After graduating from Pittsburg State in 2013, Paul knew he wanted to work for a company where he could utilize his broad skill set of design, production, and organization. Barber Financial Group fit that bill. When Modern Wealth Management began, it felt like a natural path to grow in a new, exciting direction.
Paul and his wife, Sydney, tied the knot in 2021 and love living in the Waldo neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri. They have three cats: Karl, Cousin Greg, and Louis. Together, they enjoy exploring new restaurants and watching their favorite TV shows—their current obsession being Severance.
As an avid NFL fan, Paul watches as many NFL games as he can during the season. Though nothing beats cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs. His other primary hobbies include making art and gaming. He likes to draw, paint, and doodle on his iPad, and particularly enjoys games like Dark Souls, Hades, and some multiplayer titles.
One fun fact about Paul is that he earned his Eagle Scout award when he was just 14 years old.
