Thanks for your service to our country and I enjoy your forum participation. If my family and I are ever vacationing around California I would love to have a beer with you when we are in San Diego!

Great interview!

Paul, first and foremost, thank you for your service to our country. Freedom isn’t free - thank you for all you’ve done and sacrificed on our behalf and for all you continue to do. Looking forward to seeing you at the LV GTG!

As usual Eliot, great job!

Paul is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet here on TRF, and I’m proud to call him a friend!

Thanks guys for a great interview but I'm a little disappointed you not mention Paul's best friend Anna.

Great interview, sheesh, I'm terrified of flying and math - two things you're obviously awesome at...and your taste in watches!

Sincerely thank you Paul for your service. Don't think we can say it enough for the men that stake everything on the front lines for us to enjoy what we have in the great USA.

I think anyone that's met Paul personally can attest he's a cool/great guy to talk to/hang out with as well. Great interview.

Amazing interview! Paul, thank you for your service! I mentioned your name thinking I'd get a discount when trying to buy a Tumi but they said the discount code expired!

NICE!

When is the Uncut uncensored interview being published? The one with all the Tumi fetish and Jocke obsession?
lol!

In all seriousness great interview with a great member of the TRF community
cheers
