Klepper, Hahn & Hyatt is pleased to welcome back Paul Twyman, P.E. to our staff. Paul, who previously worked for KHH from 2000 to 2008, is a senior engineer with more than 20 years of experience in civil and structural design. He graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering.

My grandfather was an electrical engineer and when I was a kid, I always thought it was cool that he could take things apart and fix them, and it made me want to be an engineer.

I enjoy the daily challenge of problem-solving and troubleshooting building performance.

I try to take a step back and consider the big picture, and use the opportunity to learn as much as possible about the topic at hand. I also try to consult with fellow engineers that may be more well-versed in a particular topic to get guidance.

I am most passionate about and am most experienced in the investigation of building failures and recommendations for their repair. I am also very interested in the renovation and rehabilitation of existing buildings with the hope of extending their service life.

It was my pleasure to work with Shawn, an engineer that I also consider a friend. He was always extremely patient with me.  Shawn has a thorough, pragmatic approach to his work product that I respect and appreciate to this day.

I think that returning to KHH is an opportunity to combine my experience in structural design and building investigation with a well-rounded approach to structural engineering.
