"My great-great grandfather, Nathan Schuler Sr., served as the first Assistant Fire Chief of the Sullivan Fire Department. He also founded a plumbing company that would later become Schuler Brothers Plumbing & Heating, operated for nearly five decades by his sons, Eugene Schuler and Nathan Schuler Jr.
After a 30-year pause, the Schuler Brothers name returns with a new mission. While the tools have changed, the purpose remains the same: supporting the fire service and helping departments better serve their communities."

Paul has served as a firefighter/EMT since 2015 and has been a licensed paramedic since 2019. Through his career, he saw firsthand the challenges smaller and rural fire and EMS agencies face — limited resources, inequitable access to grants, and gaps in public representation.
As the lead technical resource for EMS data in Missouri, Paul supports statewide data initiatives while remaining committed to helping individual agencies use technology and analytics to operate more efficiently.
In 2024, he founded Schuler Brothers Consulting & Analytics (SBCA) to provide practical, affordable, and tailored digital solutions designed specifically for the needs of fire and EMS organizations.
Just as our family has served its community for generations, we help fire and EMS agencies serve theirs. Partner with SBCA to build tools that strengthen your agency and support the people who protect others every day.
