Paul is an advocate for diversity and inclusion in the workplace.  As a person with a disability, he stands firm on his support for those that function in different ways, and aligning his methods to the room in which he finds himself.  Paul is a “jack of all trades”, with a trail of dozens of hobbies, where one fascination leads to the next.  Most recently, he’s practicing his hand at coffee roasting and has a number scuba diving certifications – an excuse to increase his time away from the unforgiving Ottawa winters.
