As an entrepreneur, Paul has developed an application that helps nonprofit organizations that give hope to children in developing counties.

As a presenter, Paul has given talks at Microsoft TechEd, PASS Summits, DevLink (Nashville), SQL Teach (Canada), Rocky Mountain Tech Tri-Fecta, ICCM, and numerous user groups. Paul recorded SQL Server 2005 Development with Total Training. He has presented his Smart Database Design Seminar in the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Denmark.
