Born in Columbia, MO and raised in The Netherlands and Wauwatosa, WI.  Paul has been playing piano since his fingers were far enough apart to play a fifth. Having played each of the other essential rock and roll instruments in different bands and projects during his youth, his 11 years of piano instruction under the tutelage of the prolific Dr. Teeth, lead him back to the Ivory 88s, and since then the keyboards have been his passion. Starting at the age of 7, he has been performing for audiences around the world. Most recently, Paul plays the keyboards for The Form, an original eclectic rock band, with which he has made 3 records, and Hail to the Zoo, a Milwaukee based classic cover band.
