Meet Paul

This is our friend Paul.

In the kitchen, Paul is known for chopping vegetables and opening beer. Of course, I've been in Paul's kitchen and I know he also likes a good scotch and great kitchen gadgetry. Maybe that's why he chops the veggies. Everyone else is afraid of those REALLY sharp knives.

When Paul was a kid he wanted to be a professional soccer player. Now, if he could do another profession he'd try Pro Golf, adding that he'd have to practice and actually get good at it first. If given $1,000 to blow in any one shop in the mall, he'd head straight for the golf store.

When Paul flies in an airplane, he's thinking that he needs to earn more money so he can fly business class. His ideal vacation would involve touring New Zealand with his wife for a month.

Paul can thank his wife, Bonnie, for teaching him how to make and eat chocolate chip cookie dough.

If Paul could trade places with anyone for one month he'd choose the President of the United States because he's got lots and lots of fun toys to play with- how much trouble could he get into in one month!

There are 2 CDs that Paul could listen to on repeat indefinitely. They are Donald Fagan's Nightfly and U2's Joshua Tree.

One book, other than the Bible, that Paul thinks everyone should read is A Nasty Bit of Rough by David Feherty, the funniest golf story ever!

One thing that Paul hopes to get from going to Africa is a perspective on what real poverty and suffering is like to use that in his day to day life back home.

One thing that Paul hopes to do while there is to connect with people from a different culture and to be able to make a small difference.
