OUR PEOPLE

Joe Haider

AIA, LEED, AP | Healthcare and Higher Education

I graduated from UW Madison w/ pre-law degree & was taking a year off studying for the LSAT for law school.  One day, while driving through Shorewood, I decided on a whim to check out the architecture school at UW Milwaukee & ask a counselor what I would need to do to apply for architecture school.  She gave me a list of classes I would need to take in order to apply the following year – one of which was an architectural history class.  I loved the class & was hooked. 

I was asked to come on as a project manager to assist with the creation of the new Higher Ed team.  After meeting with several PRA representatives, I was impressed with the vision & culture & the opportunity to take on a new role with new challenges.

Fun Fact:
I’m a single dad raising 3 daughters who have assured me there is nothing cool about me – other than my juvenile attempts to embarrass them.  Hobby-wise, I play a lot of tennis, like to travel & consider myself an amateur foodie.  I do have a Ducati Scrambler that’s been sitting in my virtual shopping cart for several years as I wait for my youngest daughter to finish school.

Education:
BA Political Science – University of Wisconsin – Madison

BA Architecture – University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

MArch – University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

I also have a boat license!
