About Paul's Life
Paul acquired many talents before making his home in the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota, just a bit outside the small community of Rochford.
He’s spent several years on the road competing in and judging rodeos. He qualified and competed in Charlotte SC at the Worlds finals Rodeo in 1997 in the team roping event. His talent serves him well in South Dakota as many a neighbor call upon him for cattle round-ups and brandings.
He is also a talented carpenter and takes much pride in custom building. Whether it is a patio, log cabin in The Hills or remodeling an 1800 building in Deadwood all are impressed with his artisanship, honesty, and commitment. His history of performing in rodeos and creating with a hammer and nail made following his passion for music a seamless transition for this cowboy.
