Prior to leading GTN, Paul spent 25 years in the pastorate – as an associate pastor, church planter, and senior pastor.

In the early 2000s, Paul felt called to spend the ‘second half’ of his life investing in pastors and leaders throughout the majority world who do not have access to the blessings and benefits of quality biblical and theological education. The latest studies tell us that 85% of all Majority World pastors have no formal, or very little informal, biblical or theological education. All of this led to the birth of Global Training Network in the summer of 2004.

Paul received his Bachelor’s degree in Pastoral Ministries from Arizona Christian University, his M.Div degree from Western Seminary (Portland, OR), and is currently working on his Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership at Columbia International University.

Paul has been married to his wife, Lisa, for over 40 years, and together, they have three adult children and four grandchildren. They currently live in the greater metropolitan Phoenix (Arizona) area. Paul’s hobbies include reading, running, photography, hiking, and sports.
