About Paul

I think it is safe to say that Paul was more than a teacher, facilitator, and intellectual but a friend as well. I have attended several of Paul’s institutes and have found not only enrichment as a teacher, but more importantly as a person. I have had two or three individuals in my life that helped sculpt me as a teacher and a person and I am very proud to say that Paul is in that list. His inquiries into the world and the people that inhabit it was one of magnificent splendor. Over the past 7 plus years, I had the opportunity to pick Paul’s brain if you will, and find insight into the world that I had been searching for since I was a child. Through his words, patients, and gentle heart I was able to find the answers to many of the questions I had. The most profound message that helped me make sense of my world, to quote Paul, is “This is my story.” I am very proud and touched that I was able to be a part of his story, and he mine. Those of us that had the good fortune to be a part of his legacy ensures that there will be better teachers to pass on “stories” for years to come. I always took pleasure in sharing stories outside of classes with Paul and getting the time to know him, as well as the time he took to get to know me. I always talk about Paul and what I was able to take away from him and to share his stories. Thanks Paul for all you have done!
