Biography

Paul is an award-winning film director and stunt coordinator. He grew up in the Central California coastal town of Los Osos, on the outskirts of San Luis Obispo. During his senior year of college at Cal Poly he was invited to be an extra on the film We Were Soldiers. It was on that set where he was given the opportunity to work his first day as a professional stuntman. By the time he was graduating and ready to make the move to LA to pursue his career in stunts, he was already working as a stuntman on Hulk. It didn't take long for Paul to start making a name for himself. Specializing in stunt driving, fight choreography, and wire work, Paul has found himself doubling many of Hollywood's A-Listers including Tom Hiddleston, Christian Bale, Eric Bana, Chris Pine, Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper, Jon Hamm, and many more.
