After graduation he worked as a designer then Marketing Director at Bikewagon.com. Paul now spends his days as the head of the creative team at Walker Edison Furniture Company, and his nights photographing local professional sports teams.
Paul learned at SLCC to see the world a little differently and strives now to get the shots that show the true emotion of the game. There is much more to professional sports than just playing the game. “It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game” Paul shows what it is really all about.
