About Paul

I am originally from Terryville, CT. I joined the Marine Corps after 9/11 and served for 8 years from 2002-2010. I was in an infantry battalion, which deployed onboard ship for 6 months throughout the Asia-Pacific theater in 2003, and then to Afghanistan in 2004-2005. After returning, I re-enlisted and became an infantry instructor in California for 3 years. My last year was in a training role in Okinawa, Japan.

I returned to Lakeland, FL because most of my family moved here while I was in the Corps. I was accepted and am currently attending the University of Tampa for a degree in Entrepreneurship. Quite recently I have struggled with trying to figure out what direction I want my career to go in. I have changed my major a few times but have decided to stick with Entrepreneurship.

I am currently a college Senior and the Founder and CEO of CollegeVeteran.com, an online resource and social network for veterans on campus.
