Paul Kronlage, PE
Vice President, Engineering, EFK Moen, LLC
St. Louis, MO
Paul Kronlage received his bachelor of science degree in civil engineering from Missouri S&T in 1983 and began his career in transportation. For 14 years with MoDOT, he worked and managed some high profile highway corridors in the St. Louis area such as 11 miles of widening of Interstate 55 south of Interstate 270, 10 miles of widening of Highway 141 from Highway 30 to Interstate 64, and 10 miles of widening of Highway 21 in Jefferson County. In 1998, he and three friends founded EFK Moen, LLC. As partner and director of engineering, he has helped grow the company from its original four employees to a successful firm with offices in St. Louis, Chicago and Fairview Heights, Ill. EFK Moen supports large firms and has acquired its own large projects such as the 11 miles of widening of Highway 65 in Taney County, Highway 364 in St. Charles County from I-64 to I-270, and the first consultant designed diverging diamond interchange at James River Freeway and National Ave. in Springfield, Mo. He is a longtime member of the Engineers’ Club of St. Louis, MSPE, ACEC and ISPE. Paul has been very active with his children and St. Agnes Catholic Church and School in Ste. Genevieve County. He has been a frequent speaker advocating engineering at St. Louis area high schools, and has supported the St. Louis Wheelchair Athletic Association for many years. Paul and his wife, Micki, have six children, ranging in age from 11 to 23; one is a senior in physics at Truman State University and two attend Missouri S&T — one is a junior in civil engineering and the other is a freshman in mechanical engineering. They live in rural Jefferson County, just south of St. Louis.
