Paul is a writer, with a background in karate and kickboxing, and has built a successful career with the City of Calgary. He is also a talented musician, and his favourite instrument is the saxophone. He has run for federal politics in Canada, but prefers to focus his energy at the local level these days, by volunteering with his local community association. He began practicing yoga in order to recover from kickboxing injuries, and continues his practice mostly to help centre his super-curious mind while he works on his short-story science fiction novellas and non-fiction political history.
