He served in the United States Air Force and was stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, NV. He began his career in the Hotel Casino business after he was discharged in the spring of 1970.

Paul was a “people person”. He created an atmosphere of fun. He was instrumental in bringing the beach bar concept to Atlantic City with the creation of the “Dizzy Dolphin” beach bar. He said of his employees “The best way in the world to work with people is to be involved with them; to get down there and walk amongst them and talk about philosophy, attitude and courtesy. There has never been a program installed in a casino property that has been better than that.” Paul was an avid golfer, he enjoyed woodworking and after retirement in 2005, he built a wonderful woodworking shop and created some amazing furniture.
