COACH & US ARMY CONTRACTOR

​

Walk into Paul's class and you know immediately you're in good hands. His sessions are organized, his expectations are clear, and he delivers it all with a straight-faced dry humor that catches you off guard just often enough to keep things fun. Paul has the kind of confidence that comes from a decorated career — it shows in how he commands a room, directs an athlete through a tough movement, and keeps the energy moving from warmup to the last rep.

​

What makes Paul's classes special is the balance he strikes. He's a stickler for movement standards and holds every athlete accountable to doing it right, but he keeps the atmosphere upbeat and positive throughout. He has a gift for finding the challenge in every workout and making sure his athletes see it too — not as something to dread, but as something to go after. He jokes that he's the "old guy" on the floor, while he consistently crushes Open quarterfinals year after year and is always the first one in the gym, smiling and ready to go before anyone else has had their coffee.

​

Outside the gym: Paul's wife is a proud member of the gym — staying out of his classes to maintain that home life balance. He recently became a proud grandpa and couldn't be more thrilled about it.
