AFTER GRADUATING MAGNA CUM LAUDE IN ECONOMICS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH, PAUL RECEIVED HIS MASTER’S IN MANAGEMENT FROM OXFORD, AND A JD FROM CORNELL LAW -- LEADING TO A SUCCESSFUL LEGAL CAREER WITH HIGHLIGHTS WHICH INCLUDED HIS WORK AT A MAJOR NEW YORK LAW FIRM AND AS SENIOR COUNSEL AT THE US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WHERE HE REGULARLY REPORTED TO ATTORNEY GENERAL RENO. PAUL’S TRUE PASSION FOR BUSINESS WITH A FOCUS IN REAL ESTATE LED HIM TO LEAVE HIS LAW PRACTICE IN 2003 AND FOCUS SOLELY ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

BOTH AS AN INVESTOR AND BROKERAGE OWNER, OVER THE PAST TWO DECADES PAUL HAS EXPANDED HIS PORTFOLIO AND INFLUENCE TO BE RECOGNIZED AS THE 77TH MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN REAL ESTATE (2016 SWANEPOEL 200). HE IS CO-OWNER AND CEO OF FORWARD MANAGEMENT, THE 21ST LARGEST REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE FIRM- IN THE UNITED STATES (REAL TRENDS 500) WITH OWNERSHIP IN 10 KELLER WILLIAMS’ OFFICES WITH 3,300 REALTORS, MORE THAN $7 BILLION IN ANNUAL CLOSED VOLUME AND MORE THAN 9,000 CLOSED UNITS.

PAUL’S REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO HAS GROWN TO MORE THAN 600 RENTAL UNITS AND 150,000 SQ. FT. OF COMMERCIAL RETAIL. FOR PAUL, THIS BECAME A LAUNCHING PAD FOR ESTABLISHING HIS TRUE LIFE'S PASSION AND SERVICE IN TEACHING AND CONSULTING OTHERS HOW TO CREATE AND BUILD WEALTH. RECENTLY, PAUL BECAME ONE OF ONLY FOUR MENTORS IN UCLA’S ENTREPRENEUR AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR MBA’S. THROUGH HIS WORK AS AN AUTHOR, TRAINER, AND BUSINESS CONSULTANT PAUL NOW UTILIZES HIS VAST EXPERIENCE AND OVER 25+ YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN PEOPLE AND WEALTH WHILE SHIFTING THE MINDSETS THAT HINDER PROGRESS ON THEIR JOURNEY.
