Chairman of the Board, EVP,

Manson Construction

Fred Paup was an English major with a writing emphasis and published poetry. Not your typical dredging industry pedigree, but talk to Paup for ? ve minutes and you’ll ? nd a knowledgeable, passionate and dedicated maritime executive, one that made the switch to “the left side of the brain” via hands- on work at the family business and an MBA earned along the way. Today he stands atop a $500m maritime construction and dredging behemoth, a company that has increased its value six-fold since 2012 when it made the move to become an employee-owned company.
