From a struggling childhood in inner city Indianapolis in the ‘60’s Paul got a scholarship for his musical abilities to attend Brebeuf Preparatory High School and was educated in the outstanding tradition of the Jesuits. His high honors academic record at Brebeuf brought him offers of scholarships to several Universities, but sensing a disconnect with the academic composition departments and the wider audience for concert music Paul opted to interact with composers such as Carlisle Floyd, Thomas Briccetti, and Michael Colgrass in private tutorials. He became well known in his early career as a Music Director and Composer for professional regional theatres such as Theatre Project Company in St. Louis, Syracuse Stage, Indiana Repertory Theatre, the Asolo in Sarasota, the Hippodrome in Gainesville, American Stage and venues like Union Square Theatre and the Manhattan Plaza in New York.
