Born in Chicago, Captain Paul has been sailing on the Great Lakes for more than 35 years. Born of Norwegian, German, English, and Scottish descent, he's lived in Denmark and traveled extensively throughout Europe and North America. Paul loves the outdoors where he pursues his passions for skiing, iceboat sailing, cruising/racing, hiking, and biking.
For more than 35-years, he's owned several sailboats and has cruised and raced extensively on the Great Lakes with more than a dozen Chicago-Mac Races and 40,000 sea miles. Paul has extensive experience as a sail and powerboat instructor, a charter and delivery captain with coastal and offshore passage making and single- and short-handed sailing on a wide variety of sailboats and powerboats up to 65ft.
