Hey! I'm Paul.
A little about me:
Every day, I wake up and get to do what I love.
Most days, that looks like teaching writing to middle school kids. You haven’t really lived until you’ve taught middle school. The kids are awkward, silly, enthusiastic, and every single day is fun with them.
I love to speak to groups of people, whether it’s at a church, conference, workshop, or webinar to help them make a connection to an important idea.
I also love to travel and to explore. I’m on my way to checking off every state in the U.S. (I have 48 of 50 down) and every national park (I’m up to 33 of 61).
I love people, especially my wife Carly, and our dogs, Perry and Winnie.
I love to write and communicate, and it sounds corny, but I want to help people. I want to help spread some hope. That’s why this site exists.
You can find a few things here:
You can find my latest writing on my blog or follow me on Medium.
If you’d like me to speak at your organization or event, I would love to help you. You can request that here.
