Paul grew up with his sister, mom and dad, in a Christian family. Summers were spent visiting grandparents and cousins on the farm. He is a faithful, committed family man, as was his dad. He exercises daily, but enjoys having a child or cat asleep in his lap. When we fostered, he went often with our kids to the park. Worship, prayer and church are important to him, and he is very passionate about nice homes and disc golf.
