Paul was born in Hartford, Connecticut and as a child moved to the Spokane area. Paul brings with him an accounting degree along with many years experience in business administration and sales. He recently sold the John Deere dealership that he owned and managed in Ritzville, Washington, for 25 years. This sale allowed him to finally move up to the home he and his family built on the Pend Oreille River. His hobbies which include motorcycling, hunting, fishing, and boating, have led him throughout the wilderness areas of Pend Oreille County. Paul greatly enjoys this area and is eager to help others find their own special place.
