Meet Paul

Paul started in the apartment industry about 30 years ago, picking up trash at a Roswell, GA, community. His curiosity served him well as he worked his way through the maintenance career path at the community level until he earned the opportunity to go national. In 2005, Paul created and facilitated training courses for maintenance professionals nationwide. He served as the Lead Instructor for HD Supply Customer Training and then for the National Apartment Association Education Institute. Paul remains at the forefront of maintenance learning and continues to write, create, and deliver apartment maintenance information. He is a true leader in the field. Paul earned these professional designations: CAMT, CAPS, CAMT+E, CAMT+L, EPA 608 Universal, PHTA-CPO Instructor, and he is a continuing member of the NAAEI Faculty.

Maintenance Mindset

The maintenance team is often overlooked until it is needed. But the role of the maintenance team is hugely important! It's well documented that maintenance is often viewed as the reactionary members of the operational team – who deal with less than glamorous situations. This podcast is a chance to have a real dialogue about the critical role that maintenance plays in daily operations and in sustaining the valuation of these vital assets. Maintenance Mindset is a conversation about the real stories happening on site and how that translates into successfully moving from reacting and responding to prevention. The work of on-site maintenance is much more than just plunging toilets, fixing things, and completing service requests focused on reducing the backlog of work. Maintenance is a Mindset. Tune in for discussions about super heroic rescues, ironic twists of fate, nerdy technical details, and interactions with some amazing people. Join Paul Rhodes as he explores it all in this upbeat solution-focused podcast!
