History
Michael Bedner, one of Hirsch's first employees, quickly rose to prominence within the company and eventually took on responsibilities as full partner and CEO of HBA/Hirsch Bedner Associates. The company's President, Howard Pharr, joined the firm in 1981. He ascended rapidly within the firm's ranks and ultimately assumed responsibilities first as Managing Partner, in 1991, and then as President in 1997. Under the guidance of his creative hand, the Atlanta office has secured its worldwide reputation for providing the ultimate in hotel and resort design.
