Biography
Hi, I'm Paul
There are few things that satisfy my creativity and problem-solving abilities like web-development. The endless possibilities and detail-oriented nature of coding draw me in daily.
When not at my desk, you can find me and my two kids at the climbing gym or even up in the mountains around Salt Lake City, exploring amoung the boulders and trees and collecting photos of wildlife.
At the end of the day what matters most to me is using my talents and skills to ensure a hopeful future for my family while contributing innovative solutions to humanity's largest challenges.
