He received a Bachelor's degree in horticulture from Michigan State University in 1993. During the last seven years, he has specialized in the scheduling, growing, and research of perennial crops.

We have placed links to all the articles that Paul has written for GPN over the years. To view these links see Paul's Articles. Paul has traveled across the U.S. and Canada to give presentations to growers on various production topics. His passion for plants and desire to help others has led Paul to author a book "Perennial Solutions: A Growers Guide to Perennial Production" available from Ball Publishing.
