Paul was born and raised in New England and graduated from Boston University College of Engineering in 1968.  He worked briefly for NASA during the Apollo project and then went to Boston University School of Medicine and has been practicing medicine since that time.

While working at Boston City Hospital (now Boston Medical Center), Paul met his wife, Mary, and they spent their honeymoon year in Eastern Kentucky, Appalachia, because they wanted to go somewhere that really needed physicians.  Paul  has published a dozen medical research articles including three pieces in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine. One of the articles was co-authored by Deepak Chopra, who was an endocrinology fellow at the time. It was Deepak's first time being published in the New England Journal.

Paul is actively involved in teaching Family Practice residents in Lawrence. MA  while practicing at Lawrence General Hospital. He has written several articles for traditional print publications and online sites, along with a biweekly humor column in the local Newburyport, MA newspaper: The Port Planet.   His first novel: Mal Practice was a finalist in the IPNE (Independent Publishers of New England) 2014 book awards and he has since published two more novels and a children’s picture book about the adoption of his two daughters.

His most recent effort is With a Little More Practice, the sequel to Mal Practice.
