About PAUL

"If you want to write, you've got to experience life first." -- Anonymous

Paul graduated from high school in 1969 at the age of 16, and left for Europe with two high school friends to attend a German language institute. When the others returned to the U.S., Paul spent the rest of the year traveling around the world, through Europe, the Soviet Union (on the Trans-Siberian railway, picture at right), Japan, and Hawaii.

Paul has worked as: a grocery store box boy, grocery store clerk, bus driver, bread truck driver, UPS driver, postal worker, daffodil picker, karate instructor, meditation instructor, construction worker, garbage man, high-rise window washer, commercial real estate salesman, landlord, technical writer, magazine editor, cartoonist, and Christmas tree lot manager.

Paul is currently studying to be a Pilates and yoga instructor in Mexico.

Paul is the author of the detective, comedy, romance, spoof (on men and women's relationships) Fast Food Detective. His next project, an online yoga course and manual, will be released in late 2024..

This post used to read: "In August, 2021 Paul will travel to India to meditate and practice yoga." Using tricks that will be included in a future "Live Like You Are Wealthy" course, Paul booked an unbelievable deal from Chicago to New Delhi for a total of $404, checked bags and airport fees included! He was getting ready for his trip when India closed its borders due to COVID fears and canceled all visas. After a forced exit from Argentina due to the same fears he has no travel plans at the current moment.

Paul On His Work

"I like to do things I enjoy; the problem is I enjoy too many things! I will be publishing a course and manual on yoga I developed to keep myself on track and limber during those times when I'd rather be doing something else. It works, and I look forward to sharing it with others. The rest of the novels, books, and board games... they will be my fun in the future."

My Community, Our Community

"My readers are 'My tribe.' It doesn't matter where in the world you are, how old or young you are, or what you do. As Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said, 'The people of the world, wherever they are, who desire to raise their level of Consciousness, to see the people of the world living in harmony and peace, they are all citizens of a new country; the Global Country of World Peace.' Those people, you people, are my tribe."

Join My Journey

"Join me in my writing and my travels. Life is a journey, and if we hang around long enough and we are open to what comes our way, we see, we experience, and we learn. Follow my blog posts here, on Facebook, and Instagram. And though I don't have the time to answer all your emails, just know that I read them all, and enjoy hearing from you!"
