Paul has been a resident of Austin for over 10 years and was currently employed by Matl Construction as a Project Manager. He had been in the construction field for over thirty years. His passion was music and he loved the Austin music scene. His enjoyment of playing guitar led to many friendships and late night sessions around town and at his home.
