Paul developed his love for nature in the backcountry of Canada, where exploring its many lakes, streams and forests cemented an appreciation for outdoor photography.  He enjoyed 2 professional careers, his first being in corporate America with a focus on new business, market and product development, working startups before “startup” was even a buzzword.  His second more purposeful career was in emergency response, where he deployed with our nation’s federal Incident Management Teams in response to all-hazards disasters that had most others fleeing. His combination of business skills, problem solving and outdoor passion has provided numerous conservation opportunities over the years in helping establish our balance with nature.
