Paul (1979-1983)

1. What does this past Kansas debater look like now?



2. What does this ex-debater now do for a living?

Paul is a debate coach for Cornell University. I'm not 100% sure of his current responsibilities. Maybe this?

Previously, he was an attorney in Wichita, KS. Apparently, he worked at Snow Hodge & Edwards.

3. Has this former debater been "in the news"?

Sort of. Paul received a "write-in" vote for District Judge and another for District Attorney in the Sedgwick County (KS) elections, November 2, 2004.

4. What else do we know?

Previously, Paul was a graduate debate assistant for Wake Forest.

He's also still a smoker.
