Paul was elected as our 2022 President by his peers. He resides in Rockford since 2001. In 2018, he retired after 27 years as an Army Officer. Paul owns True North Custom Hat Works. His wife and him have two kids, both of whom are grown and pursuing their college education. He was invited to join the Rodeo Committee in 2019 and was elected to the Board that summer. An avid fan of PRCA Rodeo, he enjoys attending the Buffalo Championship Rodeo whenever his Army career permitted it.  "Rodeo is the last remaining sport that is not afraid of letting it’s participants express their faith and their pride in this great country of ours. I enjoy working with my fellow Board and Committee members to keep our rodeo an annual highlight for many more years to come," stated Paul.
