This self proclaimed "200 pound five year old", is a happily married father of two. Paul is a big bear of a man with a twinkle in his eyes. His controlled playfulness is evident in the way he conducts every shoot. Art directors and their clients often comment on what a pleasure it is to work with him.

Paul draws on a solid, well-rounded background. At age 14 Paul fell in love with the camera when he began working for a world renowned, professional photographer, Art Gore. He went on to study with, apprentice and work for some of the world's best known photographers, including Ansel Adams, Gordon Monroe, and Michael O'Neill. He graduated with honors at the top of his class from Brooks Institute, the premier photography school. He brings to his photography skills experiences as an Eagle Scout, a ski instructor and a New York State Volunteer Fireman. This combined experience makes Paul extremely well-equipped to handle any problem that might arise during a production assignment - from taking out a splinter to engineering a complex lighting rig.
