In the US Navy, Paul was in charge of maintenance of all electronics in the control tower and in the bombing range of a Naval Auxiliary Air Station in Nevada. He then attained a BS in Electrical Engineering from the Univ. of Texas, and an MS in Biomedical Engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia. He subsequently trained with Dr. Homer Warner in Salt Lake City, who is recognized as one of the pioneers of modern medical computing.

Paul then worked for an R&D company in Dayton, Ohio doing biomechanical contract research for the Gemini Space Program. His research focused on human tolerance to vibration and impact to minimize the biological damage resultant from re-entry of the spacecraft into the earth's atmosphere and landing in the ocean. He learned to use one of the earliest powerful mainframe computers, the IBM 7090 and 7094, and additionally learned assembly language programming for the first DEC computer, the PDP-1.

He next attained a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from CWRU, doing thesis work on the autonomic nervous control of cardiac ventricular contractility. He spent the next 25+ years doing heart and endocrinology research at the Mt. Sinai Medical Center in Cleveland, OH. He rose to the rank of Professor in the schools of Medicine & Engineering at Case Western Reserve University. At Mt. Sinai, he progressed to Associate Division Chief and a Member of the Medical Society. In that leadership role, he developed proven organizational skills, and effectively and successfully worked with faculty, alumni, and administrators in corporate, academic, and institutional environments. He thus has extensive experience in working with medical practitioners at all levels, from chiefs of staff to nursing assistants, on various clinical and research projects. Further, he helped numerous physicians and attorneys cope with entering the modern eras of communications and computing in their practices. He also served for 15 years as the Chairman of the Institutional Review Board (For the Protection of Human Subjects in Research) at Mt. Sinai. This role required close work with lawyers and regulators of the NIH and FDA, as well with representatives of the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. He has extensive written communication experience having published 75 peer-reviewed journal articles or book chapters, and having served as Associate Editor of the "American J. of Physiology" and on the Editorial Board of "Circulation Research", two premier heart research journals. He served the U.S. National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Environmental Protection Agency, and American Heart Association as a scientific consultant and peer reviewer of grant applications.

During this career tenure, he spent ¼ to ½ of time using computers, & was continuously at the forefront of computer applications to medicine and laboratory sciences for over 30 yrs. For example, he built special purpose computer to, for first time, infuse insulin into diabetic patients with a time history profile that mimics natural insulin release. He has considerable experience with computer software. He is not only skilled with most major categories of software applications (database, spreadsheet, word processing, communications, CAD, graphics, statistics, languages, etc.) but also taught these and further used them to generate widely used software on a consultant basis for institutional and commercial organizations.

His tenure at Mt. Sinai ended when it was sold to a for-profit corporation and the new owners decided that research did not contribute sufficiently to their bottom line, whence the entire Research Dept. was eliminated. Having become facile with the Internet, he then started a small company, MediLex Internet Creations, in 1996 to provide Website services to medical and legal professional practices. He played and/or oversaw all roles in this venture, including: a) the selection and editing of appropriate content, b) the initial creative site design, c) the graphics and HTML/JS/Java/cgi/asp/php implementations of the design, and d) finally including server interactive services. As his experience and referral base broadened, however, he soon branched into serving additional content areas as well. He thus developed a client base representing also small and medium-sized businesses, institutions, and nationally-known entertainers, and developed experience in generating and maintaining both small and large websites on the Internet or on intranets.

He used cutting-edge graphics techniques to design or modify, in-house, 95+% of all graphics images used on the sites built. Where appropriate employed animation and three-dimensional images as well as normal static and 2D images, optimizing image quality while minimizing file sizes and thus download time. He further has extensive experience in writing, editing and publishing in nationally recognized media that serves many of our clients in good stead. And he has additionally evolved close, working relationships with highly-respected practitioners of the photographic and graphics prints arts that have also well-served clients.

He used all the common scripting techniques to implement user interactivity for a website. This includes the use of cascading style sheets, DHTML (dynamic HTML), JavaScript, VBscript, cgi-perl, and java applets, and Flash. He additionally used asp (Active Server Page) and PHP technology to implement server-side scripting with SQL, Access & MySql databases to generate dynamic web content, and to permit clients to update their own websites via password protected administrative functionality.

In 1998, he sold this company to Aurora Products Co. & took a position as Manager of their Internet Services Group where his group developed web presences for major corporations, including eCommerce services. When this company was acquired by a large conglomerate, he resigned that position in Sept. 2000 to resume independent solo website development practice in Madison, WI and now presently near London, Ontario.
