Paul proudly served in the WV National Guard while working his way through school in the Land Dept., at Columbia Gas, later becoming Columbia Natural Resources, in Charleston WV. What began simply as a temporary job for CNR prepping sites for gas and oil locations ending up sparking a love for the outdoors & a lifelong career in land surveying.

He also served on the WV Board of Surveyors for many years. He was a member of Lewis Memorial Baptist Church where he also led a Life Group, Iron Sharpeners. He loved reading the Bible, fishing, golfing and the Cincinnati Reds. Paul’s greatest passion was his deep love for his family and grandbabies.
