Paul D Cookson

I grew up in San Antonio Texas. I am a musician and have worked in television and film. For the past 8 years, I have been a stay-at-home dad. Through trial and error, this experience has taught me what it takes to run a household and learn new ideas and have fun doing it. I love to paint and cook. I also love to travel and spend time with my family.
