After studying for 7 years, he began his professional Broadway career in 1961 when, after graduating form high school, Paul headed for "The Great White Way." After only two weeks, he landed his first Broadway show, "Bye Bye Birdie," and never stopped working after that. His credits include: "Promises Promises," "Best Foot Forward," the original "Hello Dolly," and "West Side Story," where he met and later married the love of his life, Maureen Cavanaugh, who is co-owner and director of Broadway Bound.Paul also was in 75 national television commercials.

As a kid at Parker I was a friend of Paul's. I got to know Paul, His mom Ann, His dad John, His brother John, and sister Lisa. They were my second family. Well after school and into the mid 70's I had contact with his parents and brother. A great family and I miss them all.
Does anyone remember the Sears at Grand River and Oakman? Paul worked the hot peanut section on the min floor. What a salesman selling those hot cashews and penuts. He put his acting skills together and sang some tunesand danced a gig that drew the crowds in. Sears never had it so good!

I remember Paul in the Senior Talent Show, that year. He did a modern dance interpretation to "The Tall Cool One," by the Wailers, if my memory serves me right.
Even in high school, one could see he loved to move. So it comes as no surprise he spent his entire life Dancing.
