Paul was born in the Midwest. After his father completed his medical training, the family eventually settled in the Seattle area. He comes from a large family, and life as a young boy was an exciting one with siblings and friends.He earned a bachelor's degree in English Literature from the University of Washington in Seattle, which he put on hold for two years while serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Germany.Shortly after returning to Seattle from Germany, he met a beautiful young woman driving a bright yellow VW bug. She agreed to spend life with him. He and Susan are blessed with six children and thirteen grandchildren, and another on the way.Their lives have taken some twists and turns. Along the way, he served seven years in the US Army, lastly as an officer in Military Intelligence. Following the Army, he earned an MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management, the internationally recognized business school in Phoenix, Arizona.He spent most of his business career engaged in commercial real estate investments working for various firms such as private equity, a pension fund, and an international bank. He traveled too frequently during his career assisting clients with a heavy domestic and international schedule, often traveling over 100 nights a year.He has written extensively to family and close friends, discussing the challenges we encounter through those twists and turns along the path. A core principle in his writing is the role faith plays in dealing with challenges and that this life is a preparatory state for an eternal one. Different parties have guided him through periods of discouragement. He writes to assist others through similar trials. Several friends and associates have encouraged him to publish to a larger audience. Mark and Me is his first effort. Additional offerings are coming soon.
