Meet the Team

Paul has had many careers in the corporate world ranging from credit manager, accountant, national product manager, national marketing manager and general manager. Paul brings a wealth of knowledge in accounting, design, management, marketing, policy development, regulatory compliance and strategic planning etc.

Paul had experienced significant hardship and trauma throughout his childhood and early adult life, including time in an orphanage, a dysfunctional home and abuse. A culmination of this trauma led to Paul deciding to take his own life after getting into difficulty in the Murray River, but in that moment an apparition of Jesus appeared and in absolute shame he swam to shore. He commenced attending church to repent for an act he was ashamed of and over time became a dedicated Christian resulting in his baptism.

He grew up with a younger sister who experienced all he had as a young child, if somewhat worse, and over the years and even as late as two years ago, he discovered he had different siblings from both sides of his parents. He can attest that working through trauma is a life-long journey and it is his faith in Christ that he preserves through life.

He currently works as the general manager for CCCVAT and is married with four children. He works tirelessly to share his life experience and skills to improve the lives of those less fortunate and to share the messages of compassion and hope. In his spare time, Paul likes to design, sing, hike and spend time with his family.
