Paul Barnes

Paul Barnes, President of Shea Homes San Diego (SHSD), believes in the sense of family -- for his business.

Specializing in single-family attached and detached homes, SHSD has been a staple in the San Diego housing market for more than two decades. Barnes bases his work on the philosophy of enhancing people's lives, and it has not gone unnoticed in the industry. Shea Homes received the 2006 National Housing Quality Gold Award for its "world class business practices" and adherence to its values in all aspects of the business. Shea Homes has become America's largest family-owned homebuilding company over the last 125 years, and that is attributed in large part to the company's adherence to a strong set of core values.

Barnes has extended the company's values outside of the San Diego housing market, including a literacy awareness campaign initiated through community outreach events.
