  Everyone does...or at least recognizes his picture. If you’ve been active in the San Fernando Valley business and non-profit community the answer is likely “yes”. Paul has supported dozens of organizations with advertising at their galas, golf tournaments and other events. Paul became a licensed insurance agent in September 1984.  Although Paul runs a relatively small enterprise, he has been involved and contributed much more time and money than organizations that are much larger.

Whenever ONEgeneration, New Horizons, Valley Community Health Care or a number of nonprofit organizations needs some help or advice, Paul has been more than generous with his time and other resources. The Valley is a much better place to live because of the many hours he has donated to its organizations and its people.

Paul is a lifetime resident of the San Fernando Valley. He attended Poly High School in Sun Valley and holds a degree in business from USC. Paul has resided in the “Sherwood Forest” section of Northridge since 1999. He still thinks of himself as a newlywed, as he and his wife Rande married in 2012.
