Paul grew up in Watkins, MN and attended Eden Valley-Watkins High School and studied Criminal Justice at St. Cloud State University. He has served on the National Development Council as a Finance Professional, served on Developmental Boards around MN, and has been an active part of Minnesota Farmers Union since 1991. When he’s not at the office, Paul enjoys traveling with his wife, Seda; cheering for the Vikings at US Bank Stadium, taking his Springer Spaniels pheasant hunting and competing in AKC Field Trials. Paul is especially proud to have guided the Governor of Minnesota at the Pheasant Opener with his dogs. Paul is also now a proud Grandpa twice over!
