Finance Director + Board Member

Now semi-retired, Paul engages in part time consulting and accounting services primarily in children’s animation production. His clients include Hello Sunshine, Lion Forge Entertainment and Penguin Random House. He has served in a volunteer capacity as the Finance Director for Migrants of the Mediterranean since the spring of 2023. He is privileged to continue serving in that role and, now, honored to be included as a member of its Board of Directors.

Paul lives in New York City and Connecticut with his husband Richard. He is an avid reader and is an insatiable consumer of cinema and live theater. He enjoys cooking, boating, tennis and travel in any order or all at once.
