Paul has always loved drawing. He learned early on that while a poor drawing of a teacher would get you in trouble, a good one might just let you get away with it. He produced a daily comic strip for The Princetonian during college, earning him the title of Class Cartoonist Laureate. At a recent reunion, he received a lifetime achievement award for thirty years of cartoons, illustrations, and logos. While at Dartmouth's Tuck Business School, he directed classmates in the construction of an award-winning ice sculpture for college's Winter Carnival celebration. It depicted a giant bull breaking through the then unthinkable DJIA market level of 1200. His cartoon work has been strongly influenced by a decades long career in venture capital and private equity.

He and his wife Katie reside in Morristown, New Jersey, with three children and Janie the wonder-dog.
