Paul proudly served as a member of the Nevada Air National Guard from 1981 to 1987, during which he was stationed at the May Airfield in Reno.

His years of service taught Paul that doing your part is essential to both the mission and the team, a sentiment that has carried over in his current work as an Advance Funeral Planner at Russon Brothers Mortuary & Crematory in Bountiful, Utah.

Paul frequently helps fellow veterans secure their earned benefits as he helps them pre-plan their final arrangements, always striving to provide thorough detail and instruction so they can complete the process with as little effort as possible.
