Paul is most energized and fulfilled professionally when he is serving as a trusted advisor and counselor to business and non-profit leaders, particularly those who share his vision for work with a divine purpose and for the dignity of people.  His decades of corporate transactional experience across a wide spectrum of clients and practice areas, as well as several years assisting and guiding various non-profit organizations, give him a seasoned understanding of situations faced by leaders and organizations and a unique “generalist” perspective to opportunities and challenges.  His life-long commitment to “integrity” as a core value has become a passion for carrying out the mission of Integrous.  Paul’s personal purpose statement is “to serve by redeeming work through the impartation of wisdom, spotlighting God’s truth and connecting its meaning to organizational cultures and practices.”
