*******************************
Paul studied agriculture at the University of Guelph where he obtained his undergraduate degree in Crop Science and his Master’s degree in Plant Breeding and Genetics. He began a 26-year research career with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and in that time he studied Range Management at Utah State University where he completed his Ph.D. in 1987. His career also included 9 years as Vice-President of the Western Beef Development Centre. He was editor of the Canadian Journal of Plant Science from 98 to 2000.
Paul and his wife Nancy have 3 children, one daughter-in-law and one grandson.
He retired in 2016 and consults on agriculture research and scientific writing and is an adjunct professor at the University of Saskatchewan. He has published 88 scientific (peer-reviewed) research papers and has given many technical presentations.
Paul believes that no research project is complete until the results are published in a peer-reviewed journal article. His personal discovery that science and faith are not contradictory but complementary has impacted his work and life.
Paul and Nancy have been billet parents of teenage hockey players on the Humboldt Broncos team each season for the last 10 years. On April 6, 2018, the team bus collided with a semi-truck resulting in 16 fatalities and 13 injuries. The crash made news around the world and prompted condolences from public figures and celebrities, vigils, and tributes, such as people leaving hockey sticks outside their doors.
Paul has shared with many groups how his faith sustained him during the tragedy.
