Paul graduated from Ensley High School in 1971, where he was a standout pitcher on the baseball team. He continued his education at the University of Alabama, where he was an active member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. He graduated in 1975 with a degree in Communications.

A lifelong member of the Churches of Christ, Paul met the love of his life, Connie, through his church community. They were married in November 1975 and shared nearly 50 years together.

After retirement, he continued contributing to his community through roles at the Alabama Humanities Alliance and the Country Club of Birmingham. He was honored to serve as President of the Baptist Health System Retirees.

Paul was a passionate fan of the University of Alabama. He rarely missed a football, basketball, or baseball game and was a proud member of the Alabama Alumni Association and the UA Tipoff Club. He also enjoyed volunteering at the Regions Tradition and the SEC Baseball Championship.
