A true Durango native (a rare find these days!), Paul has traveled extensively but has never found anywhere he likes better, and wants to always call Durango his hometown, largely thanks to the outdoor activities that he loves to do and are so easy to enjoy in the Colorado mountains, especially skiing, water sports, off-roading, and exploring new places.

He began his work in windows as a trim carpenter. He has worked in the role he is in now for 12 years, in large part because he really enjoys the people that he works with and the supportive small team dynamic that exists at SoCo Wood & Windows.
