Paul is the Secretary of the Board of Trustees of Listen and Talk.   His involvement came about because the University-Ballard Lions Club, of which he is a member,  has supported Listen and Talk for many years at its annual benefit auction.

Paul is excited about Listen and Talk being at the forefront of efforts make listening and spoken language education for children with hearing loss available for all children not only in Western Washington but throughout the United States.  In an ideal world, the services provided by Listen and Talk would be funded entirely by fees, insurance, and government funding and not dependent in part on fundraising and grants.  In the meantime, it is exciting to contribute to helping Listen and Talk move toward financial independence.

A retired attorney, he enjoys travel, hikes in the mountains and time spent with his grandchildren in his leisure time.
