"Paul has a great mix of skills. He's a journalist with good news sense, has strong editing skills and can produce. Wait, there's more. If needed, he can do on cam work. He's got a good sense for story telling and can deliver a story with a tight deadline. I've always liked working with him. He asks good questions to gain clarity and deliver what you need in the best fashion. Paul would be a great asset to any team needing any or all of these skills. "
