Paul graduated Summa Cum Laude from the burgeoning film production program at Keene State College in southern New Hampshire. His first post-production job was as at Florentine Films, becoming part of the assistant editorial for Ken Burns's Emmy Award winning series, "The War," a 14 hour PBS epic about the American experience of World War II. His extensive background in computer graphics presented the opportunity for innovating digital animation as part of the Florentine Films workflow for the first time.

After post production wrapped on The War, Paul transitioned from New Hampshire to New York City where he continued to work as assistant editor and animator for such noted documentary filmmakers Marco Williams (Banished), David Van Taylor (Good Ol' Charles Schulz), and Roger Sherman (The American Brew).

Now an editor in his own right, Paul has worked as associate on the Dominic Dunne "Power, Privilege & Justice" episode "Family Betrayal," written & directed by Steve Rivo, and executed additional editing on the American Experience film "A Class Apart," a documentary about the historic Supreme Court case that forced the re-evaluation of the legal status of Mexican-Americans in the United States of America. "A Class Apart" was produced & directed by Carlos Sandoval and Peter Miller for Camino Bluff Productions.
