Paul was born and raised in northern Virginia. He came to faith in Christ while attending an AWANA meeting as a child. He was raised in a Christian home and went to church every Sunday. He grew disillusioned with the Christian faith in his teens. In his early twenties, he discovered the love of Christ in a new and powerful way at a Tres Dias weekend. After that weekend he was hungry for more and went through the True Life Institute. The training he received there, along with Coaching from Grace Ministries, radically changed his life. He now desires to help others find the True Life that is available to them in Christ.
