Born and raised in Racine, Wisconsin. Attended Washington Park High School, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the University of London & the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point where he graduated with a BFA in Theatre. His professional career started at 16 at the famous Melody Top Theatre in Milwaukee, in Bye Bye Birdie starring Barry Williams. That led the way to a move to the West Coast in 1989 and gathering a host of theatre credits spanning cities from San Diego to Lake Tahoe to Las Vegas and back. He performed along side Frank Gorshin, Jack Jones and Maureen McGovern in Guys and Dolls in one of Vegas's last of the famous Rat Pack casinos The Desert Inn before it was torn down to make way for the Wynn towers. Along with several Television and Film appearances since then, Paul has stayed true to his theatre roots, performing in the original productions of Reefer Madness in LA as well as the Off Broadway version that had its unfortunate and fateful opening the week of 9/11. That didn't end his relationship with Reefer director Andy Fickman, though, who he worked with again, along side Kristen Bell in the world premiere musical SNEAUX! at the Matrix Theatre in Hollywood. An established and award-nominated choreographer here in LA, he also helped launch the non-profit community theatre company No Square Theatre in Laguna Beach, CA and often choreographs and performs there in his spare time. In the ever growing world of Internet entertainment, Paul has been involved in several web series and web events including Mccracken Live, Internet Icon Seasons 1 and 2, lovin Lakin (starring Christine Lakin) and is Co-Producer and Co-star of the 2014-15 zombie comedy series ACTING DEAD.
