As CEO, Kasper is responsible for all aspects of the company’s strategic business decisions in Hull's market areas. Under his leadership, the firm has experienced strong growth and has received many awards in areas such as employee satisfaction, safety, and project excellence. In addition to his business leadership, Kasper is one of the early pioneers in brownfield redevelopment, and is recognized throughout the country for his creative strategies and leadership in this emerging field.

He has directed many notable brownfield redevelopment projects that have reshaped and stimulated local economies, including the redevelopment of the former Delphi Automotive Facility in Columbus, Ohio for the future home of Penn National Gaming’s Hollywood Columbus Casino; the Red Bank Road (former Ford Transmission Plant) redevelopment in Cincinnati; the Springfield Regional Cancer Treatment Center in Springfield, Ohio; the luxurious Miranova high rise along the Scioto River in downtown Columbus, Ohio; the $1.2 billion expansion of the DaimlerChrysler Jeep Assembly Plant in Toledo, Ohio; the Lakeview Bluffs redevelopment in Painesville, Ohio; the redevelopment of former GM Assembly Plants in Baltimore, Md., and Linden, N.J.; and, the expansion of the University of Dayton’s campus on the former NCR manufacturing plant.

In addition to routinely speaking at national venues, Kasper was invited to present as a guest lecturer at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. His presentation, “Value Added Strategies for Design Firms,” provided perspective on the environmental industry and how to overcome “commoditization” through value-added strategies. Kasper currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and is involved in many other community groups.
