Hailing from a small mountain town in Oregon, Paul learned early on that great stories bring people together. Encouraged by teachers and mentors, he dove headfirst into historical documentary competitions in middle school and high school, eventually competing on a national level. That experience ignited a lifelong passion for uncovering compelling narratives and sharing them with the world. Paul then moved to sunny Southern, California to study film and the rest is history…

Paul holds a BFA in Film Production from Chapman University.

He writes murder mysteries? Weird. When he’s not busy in the world of television, Paul flexes his storytelling muscles through The Mystery Co., his own murder mystery company that offers immersive, downloadable games. It’s the perfect playground for his love of writing, creativity, and crafting complex narratives packed with twists, turns, and deviously clever clues (www.themysteryco.com).

Outside of work, Paul is all about fitness, playing the guitar, and traveling, always seeking new adventures and inspirations to fuel his next big story. With a career rooted in unscripted television, casting, and immersive storytelling, Paul continues to push creative boundaries, always seeking the next compelling story to share with audiences.
