Rich Tennessen
CEO : Principal
Architecture has the ability to help client’s dreams come to life, and I believe our people make the difference. There are only a few careers where you are able to make a direct impact across the community, touching the life of every person who visits the building. As CEO of EUA I am leveraging leadership across the firm to establish our vision and strategy, growing the firm to new heights. On projects where I serve as Client Executive, I'm able to get more deeply involved with our clients; from municipal approval, to big picture brainstorming, to fundraising, I am able to support the team to ensure the client’s needs and wants become a reality. I have a passion for doing what’s right, providing honest, straight-forward and real-time feedback to help set the course for the best end result. A believer in the obligation we have to our communities we live and work in, when I’m not spending time with my family or getting outside I like to give back in a variety of ways.
