Paul is an active and committed member of the South Australian Aboriginal community and grew up on the West Coast of South Australia in a country town called Ceduna. He is a Wirangu man and has been a committed and dedicated member of his Community in the promotion of, and support to, the advancement of Aboriginal South Australians.
From an early age Paul showed a love and commitment for basketball and began to play in Adelaide at the age of 13. His exceptional talent provided him with the opportunity to play on a state and national level. After two years in the Australian Basketball League, Paul entered the National Basketball League as a member of the Melbourne Tigers and went on to join the Canberra Cannons. Paul was awarded the Most Inspirational Player 2000-1.
He announced his retirement from basketball in 2006 and was drawn back to working within the South Australian Communities for the advancement of social justice issues. He has a passionate commitment to the Aboriginal youth of South Australia and his desire to make a difference.
Throughout Paul’s work history he has dedicated the skills and attributes that he has in community development to making a difference for his people this drive an commitment has come from a passion to make a difference in showcasing his pride and understanding of culture and the need for Aboriginal people to be the forerunners in promote culture to the world.
"My people deserve to be promoted and recognise by the world though our own showcasing and not through the presentation and eyes of some one without the spiritual essence and understanding that comes from Aboriginal representation and this is my vision for our company.
Che and I set up this business as an opportunity for us to support the national Aboriginal Community through the promotion of our rich culture and heritage internationally. Whilst Aboriginal culture has been promoted internationally, the difference is that we as Indigenous men have an opportunity to give back to our people in a real way and promote them from an Indigenous perspective rather than a mainstream perspective."
