Paul is a retired Accountant and business owner of Cortland Bookkeeping and Tax Service. He lives in Cortland, NY, the near geographical center of the state. He is the co-founder of Plastic Ocean Project, Inc, founded in 2012.

Paul's contributions to Plastic Ocean Project, Inc. have been the backbone to the non-profit, compiling the paperwork to create our 501c3 status, providing leadership as president on and off since its inception in 2012. His commitment to community and the environment goes beyond this rapidly growing NGO.

​Paul is on the Board of Trustees for the Cortland YWCA, has served on the Cortland Water Board, the community Historical Society, and has volunteered decades for the United Way. Though he lives in his fair city of Cortland, landlocked from the ocean, his passion for the success of this nonprofit has no boundaries.
