About the Author
After graduating with an engineering degree from Marietta College and an MBA from Ohio State, Paul entered the management development track at Ford Motor Company in Detroit. He later departed to start a staffing company with a partner. Before selling to a publicly traded firm five years later, Paul was Finalist for Ernst & Young’s Michigan Entrepreneur of the Year two years straight. Paul and his family moved to the Smith Mountain Lake area a year later to enjoy a more rural lifestyle and assist a growing church. They also started a nonprofit ministry to international students studying at US colleges. Paul re-entered the business world in the real estate arena in 2000. After only two years as a REALTORŪ at Smith Mountain Lake, he achieved the Diamond Award, the highest sales level for a Roanoke Valley/SML realty agent. Through applying principles of direct response marketing and Internet technology, his Smith Mountain Homes Team has sold tens of millions of dollars of SML real estate to hundreds of now-happy SML property owners. In recent years, Paul joined a team of entrepreneurs, educators, and pastors to form 7MountainSchool.com. The 7 Mountain School holds an optimistic view of the future for America and the world, and trains young people to move boldly into various spheres of society to bring positive, lasting change. A large portion of the profit from Paul’s business is funneled into 7 Mountain and other world-changing initiatives. These include putting orphans in homes, ending human trafficking, and raising the standard of living for the impoverished around the world.
