After graduating from Janesville High School in 1949, Paul served in the Navy as a cook. When Paul returned to Janesville, he worked at the Riviera for his parents and married Shirley McLean on April 26, 1956. His entrepreneurial nature led him from the Rivera into real estate. Over the years, Paul worked with a number of partners including his sons in a variety of ventures and a venture with his sister to run the Black Hawk Restaurant in Cedar Falls. During his ‘retirement’, Paul continued to enjoy his lifelong love of food through cooking and making candy.
