Did You Know? /
Paul and his wife are runners and have set a goal of completing marathons in all 50 U.S. states – a feat they’ll likely accomplish in 2024. A longtime athlete, he was on the ski team at UVA, and now, like many other CapTechers, is also a coach. Currently, he advises and guides the Wintergreen Alpine race team of about 100 teenagers. His superpower, he says, is facilitation.
