He co-founded Bridge Investment Group Partners, a public company on the NYSE, and produced the film "Sound of Freedom", which tells the true story of a child trafficking rescue mission in Colombia that he was part of.

Paul has been honored with many awards, such as the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, the International Medal of Freedom, and the Race Award from Harvard Business School. Paul shares his incredible story of ego to purpose, from building a multi-billion dollar company to leading covert rescue missions and putting his life on the line to save innocent children.
