Paul has been an active participant in amateur piano competitions for many years, including the Cliburn in Ft. Worth, Texas, Paris France, Boston, and Chicago, appearing as a finalist in all of them. Paul received a bachelor’s degree in Piano Performance from DePaul University in Chicago, studying with Mary Sauer. While a decision to enter the family manufacturing business changed the direction of his career away from music, Paul continues to keep his piano skills sharp, and credits participating in non-professional piano artists competitions as a great motivator. He also appreciates the love and support from family and friends to pursue this passion. When not practicing, you will probably find Paul having fun on the pickle ball court!
