Paul’s entrepreneurial spirit was ignited when he started mowing lawns. As a child, he was motivated to learn how to cultivate new clients and get paid for hard work. These young experiences developed his passion for community involvement and started his curiosity to learn more about property development.

Paul’s strong work ethic and dedication helped him grow his clientele to eight lawns.

Within two short years and adjusting to high school at Cathedral Prep, Paul then grew his business to over 50 lawns.

The fast business growth opened up new opportunities and Paul partnered with Paul Mabie to form H + M Landscape and Construction, LLC, expanding the landscaping services into a successful construction company.

While most school students are busy with sports, clubs, and social lives – Paul, as a Senior at Cathedral Preparatory School, was busy defining the next phases of his growing company.

With the addition of expanded services and developing the next business plan, it became clear that the business offerings were growing. With a dedicated team, a strategic plan, and a drive for growth – Hoffman United, LLC is formed. The name change allowed the business to offer four divisions of services: Construction, Development, Property Management, and Landscaping.
