Paul was a self-employed semi-driver, hauling grain and fertilizer locally. His truck was the cleanest one with lots of shiny chrome!

He enjoyed racing snowmobiles and motorcycles for several years. He loved his jet boat on the Snake River. Paul provided his kids with "horsepower" when they asked for a horse! In the last few years, he enjoyed traveling in his motor home and exploring parks and trails on his side by side.
