Miller Hull managing partner to retire

Rochon

After 22 years at The Miller Hull Partnership and 14 years as managing partner, Ron Rochon is retiring Dec. 31. Rochon will pass the leadership role to colleague and friend, Rob Misel.

This transition of leadership marks only the third managing partner at Miller Hull since the firm was founded almost 50 years ago. Rochon became managing partner in 2008. During his time at the helm the firm more than doubled in size.

In a press release Miler Hull said Rochon's greatest achievements can be seen in projects and initiatives that have strengthened the firm's reputation as a leader in sustainable, regenerative design such as the award winning Bullitt Center, Fisher Pavilion at Seattle Center, and EMission Zero, the firm's boldest achievement in its effort to stay accountable for carbon emissions.

Following Rochon's retirement, Misel will step into the managing partner role after 21 years at Miller Hull. His repertoire includes large scale projects such as the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry, C Concourse Expansion at Seattle Tacoma International Airport, and the Kitsap County Administration Building.

“One of my primary goals is to continue diversifying our firm. Part of that necessitates giving young staff more opportunities,” Misel said in the press release. “I want to cultivate an environment where anyone with a particular skill set can be a leader, regardless of age, race, or gender.”
