He began his career at Citibank in 1983 as a developer on an early home banking product.
His research and teaching interests focus on information security, social media (particularly for non-profits), usability, health care information, electronic banking and finance, and the use of information for organizational decision-making.

He continues to contribute actively as a reviewer, author, and volunteer.
Beyond his professional contributions, Paul is an active volunteer with the United Methodist Church, home repair and construction projects, and Sturtevant’s Camp in the Angeles National Forest.
Paul’s steadfast commitment to ISCAP, combined with his scholarly productivity and leadership, makes him a worthy inductee as an ISCAP Fellow.
