Paul Kestel, Director of Sales and Customer Service

Meet Paul Kestel

“I am excited to take the knowledge I have gained over the years and invest it in the businesses of our valued customers. To me leadership means investing in the growth of others through relationship, service, and connections.”

Paul has over 26 years of industry experience and a love of the art of photography. His love of art started at a young age as he watched his father paint on canvas. He pursued his passion for art with a photography degree from Hawkeye Community College. After getting his degree, he worked at McKenna for several years in customer service.

In 2004, he and his wife Nicole opened a photography studio specializing in weddings and portraits. They photographed around 200 weddings and then made the difficult decision to close the studio to spend more time with their growing three children, Kolby, Bailey, and Atley. Paul loves the outdoors and enjoys exploring his newest passion – landscape photography.

Paul re-entered the printing side of the photography industry working with volume and portrait photographers for many years. In 2022, he returned to McKenna as the Business Development Manager, a role specifically for giving back and helping McKenna customers grow their businesses and position them for success into the future. In 2025, Paul expanded his role at McKenna as the Director of Sales and Customer Service.
