As a professor of Philosophy and one who guides healing and growth, Paul has spent forty years examining the kinds of life choices that can yield the wisdom path. He focuses on what it means to see life as offering an Initiation, guiding and challenging us to find our way to our own depths. Committed to a Socratic method of teaching, Paul's intention is to serve as a muse, awakening the truths that live in his students. A steadfast believer in the power of community, Paul founded Boys to Men, a Connecticut mentoring program for teenage boys, and COMEGA, the semi-annual Connecticut Men's Gathering, now in its 30th year of service.

His works include 5 books. Seekers: Finding Our Way Home, received high praise from Writers Digest Self-Published Book Awards who called it "a thought-provoking work that will benefit readers at any point in life. (...) This is the type of book that people should read and return to again and again. A wonderful book." His title Dare to Grow Up: Become Who You are Meant to Be has been adopted as a classroom text by the Hamline University School of Business. Regarding Wisdom: Apprenticing to the Unknown and Befriending Fate, Paul says: "I wrote this book because I've believed in the possibility of wisdom since I began studying philosophy at age 19. I was deeply moved by Socrates' response to his friend Chaerephon, who is told by the Delphinic Oracle that Socrates is the wisest man in Athens. Initially puzzled, Socrates recalls a recent conversation with another who believed himself to be indisputably knowledgeable. Socrates says, 'Maybe she's right. The fellow I was just speaking to actually believes he knows something.' Thus, began my introduction to curiosity having a primary place on the path to wisdom. What I have been naive about is just how much of an ego adjustment it would take to point me in the right direction. I also wrote this book because it hurt my ears every time I heard the word wisdom referred to in some demeaning way, when information through technology has appeared to become sacrosanct." Paul continues to champion and encourage learning in regard to making peace with life's essential mystery and insecurity. His teachings, consulting, and writing offer the message that in creating such peace we evoke a proclivity for wisdom. He advances the vision that "as we release our strivings to control and dominate life, we engender an attitude of unity consciousness. Such mindfulness yielding the depth and meaning of living life relationally. We come to know genuine belonging both with ourselves and to our lived experience."
