About Paul

I don’t chase danger. I study it, expect it, and conquer it...

Capability

Prepared, precise, calm

Marksman
Shoots a range of firearms with discipline. Paul’s focus is absolute — whether it’s a precision rifle on a windy ridge or a sidearm at the range, every shot is deliberate. He reads the wind, controls his breathing, and lets skill, not luck, decide the outcome.
Survival training
Fieldcraft, navigation, and risk assessment. In the wild, Paul moves with quiet confidence — reading terrain, tracking weather shifts, and making calculated decisions that keep his team safe. From building shelter in minutes to finding the fastest route out of danger, he thrives where preparation meets instinct.
Angler
Goes fishing often; once landed a massive marlin. Hours on the water have honed his patience and timing. That marlin fight — a test of strength, endurance, and strategy — ended with a triumphant haul and a story that still gets told dockside.
Public speaker
Keynotes with momentum and message. On stage, Paul commands attention without force — weaving stories, data, and vision into a narrative that moves audiences from passive listeners to active participants.
