Paul grew up in Juneau, AK and graduated from the University of Washington and University of Oklahoma. The son of a commercial fisherman, Paul has been commercial fishing since he could walk. Life in Alaskan waters led Paul to become a skipper of an Alaskan crabbing vessel but fishing boats weren’t big enough so Paul joined the Navy. The enormous responsibility to the safety of the fishing crew and young sailors under his command cemented Paul’s belief in proper safety procedures and protecting our most valuable assets. With Paul’s background, insurance was a natural fit for him.
