Paul has been climbing for 40 years, and guiding / instructing for the past 30 years in New England and the Adirondacks. During his extended time in negotiating the vertical environment, Paul has had the good fortune to climb rock and ice in many corners of the U.S. including such places as the Tetons, Yosemite, and the granite cracks and sandstone spires of Utah, Arizona, and Colorado, amongst many others. Most of his climbing time has been spent thoroughly exploring the endless number of cliffs and mountains found all over New England and the Northeast. 

Paul spends much of his time when he is not climbing and guiding as a high school science teacher and outdoor educator. Some of his other interests include hiking, biking, skiing, paddling, gardening, fishing, and the endless tasks of working on a century-old farmhouse in northern Vermont.
