Monticello, nestled in the Shawangunk Mountains, is the hometown that he still enjoys revisiting. After a stint in the army, a life in Monticello, and a career as a pharmacist, he left for graduate school in New York City and stayed there. He met Kathleen Gustafson in Manhattan, married her, became a home owner of a town house in Brooklyn, had two children - Jessica and Burke, worked up to become the CEO of a hospital, and undertook additional academic degrees and careers. Kathy and Paul have lived in New Jersey, Maine, and Pennsylvania.
Paul holds a degree in Pharmacy from the University of Buffalo, a master’s in Hospital Administration from Columbia University, a masters in Public Administration from New York University, and a PhD in Public Policy from New York University. As these diverse degrees suggest, Paul has had careers in various fields: pharmacy, hospital management, a professorship in health care management, and another in politics and government. Although formally retired, Paul continues to regularly teach and lecture on various topics in political science.
One of Paul’s lifelong non-career interests has been in folk music. He continues to sing in various venues and accompany himself on guitar. Each year he’s taught a non-credit course in folk music, which has been quite popular. He also enjoys playing Renaissance and Baroque music in a recorder consort, and - of course - he writes poetry.view less
