Paul grew up in Texas, where he learned to love and value his family, his friends, ‎and his coworkers. He was awarded a B.A. in theoretical linguistics and an M.A. ‎in German literature by the University of Texas at Austin, continuing his ‎studies at the University of Houston, where he earned an M.A. in English & American ‎literature and an Ed.D. in Curriculum & Instruction with a focus in literature, ‎language, and reading.‎

A teacher of thirty-four years’ experience, in Texas and California, Paul has taught ‎reading, language, history, and civics courses. Paul has helped his students to become ‎financially independent, by coaching them on how to obtain opportunities in ‎continuing education, competitive employment, and job training, as well as how to plan their finances for independent living.‎

Paul has taught college courses at the University of Houston, teaching future ‎teachers how to instruct reading and writing. He has also worked as a professor ‎at the University of Phoenix, where he has taught “Introduction to Film” classes focusing on the medium of film as a collaborative work of art and science.‎

In his spare time, Paul enjoys studying American history, world history, ancient history, and the ‎U.S. Constitution, as well as biblical principles, economic theory, film as ‎literature, and the music composers, lyricists, and singers of the Great American ‎Songbook. He also enjoys reading widely, across genres, and watching old ‎movies, especially films noirs and the song-and-dance musicals of the 1930s, ‎‎’40s, and ’50s.‎
