After graduation from John Muir High School in Pasadena, Paul attended Stanford Univeristy and received a BS in chemistry, with a minor in music.  But stronger personal and intellectual searchings then took him in another direction.  He was drawn to Fuller Seminary’s new School of Psychology, and relished its emphasis on the integration of psychology and Christian theology.  His doctoral dissertation was “Training Nursing Students to Interact with Terminal Patients”.  He received a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and M.A. in theology in 1972.

After a couple of years working for Stanislaus County in Modesto, California, he moved to San Diego, and began a 32 year career with San Diego County Mental Health Services.  This included 10 years working in a psychiatric hospital for adolescents and 10 years at Polinsky Children’s Center (the county’s shelter for abused / neglected children).  

Now retired, he’s free to indulge in hobbies (playing the French horn, photography, travel, skiing, snorkeling, hiking) and to pursue what interests him most--integration of psychology and theology (especially ethics), culture and cinema, and interfaith issues. He’s a member of a Toastmasters club and, until recently, a member of La Jolla Presbyterian Church, where he played in a brass choir and led a small study/growth group.  A just-curious visit to St. Andrews led to more visits and then regular involvement almost 2 years ago.

Paul and his wife Paula were married in 1969, and have a son Gavin (a cinematographer in Los Angeles), and 2 grandchildren.
