Paul has been an active member of TLOMA since 1998 and has served on the TLOMA Board as Treasurer and Finance SIG leader in 2009 & 2010 and Vice President, President and Past President from 2014-2016. Paul has also participated as a panel member at the 2008 and 2011 TLOMA Annual Conferences. 

Paul has managed various law firms from boutique to satellite offices (with head offices in BC and the UK). He has extensive experience within the legal industry since 1989, from the humble beginnings as a Person Friday. Through hard work, studies and the support of many TLOMA members Paul became an Office Administrator in 1999 and is currently the Operations Administrator for Baker McKenzie.

TLOMA has been instrumental to Paul’s successful career and growth, both professionally and personally, whether through educational SIGs and Annual Conferences, or the broad depth of experience that each member has to offer.

Paul feels the greatest value TLOMA provides is the opportunity to network with fellow members who have a broad range of ideas and perspectives that each member brings to their practice area. The ability to share this knowledge is critical to both professional growth but also in approaching our daily challenges proactively and armed with the knowledge that help is only a phone call or email away.

As TLOMA continues to grow Paul feels it is vital that we continue to explore new ways to improve our networking capacity and ability to share new ideas from such a diverse and knowledgeable demographic.  Paul truly believes that TLOMA’s greatest asset is its members.

Personally, Paul originally studied Fine Arts (Painting and Drawing) and continues to try and find time to work on his graphic novel whenever he is not working on renovation projects at home with his patient wife and two sons.
