Paul was born in Gelnhausen, Germany, but grew up in Claverack, New York. He currently lives at 801 Huntington Drive in Highlands Ranch. You may reach him at 303 881-9301 or psceria@q.com.

While growing up, he liked hunting, fishing and sports. Paul attended Hudson High School, Dutchess Community College, and State University of New York where he obtained his AA Liberal Arts and BS Industrial Arts degrees. In high school Paul played soccer and ran the 440 yard dash.

A retired Continental airlines pilot, he presently does flight instruction for Executive Flight Training at Centennial airport.

Paul married Jennifer Ann Owen on September 5th, 1970. They have two daughters, Michelle Jean Shah and Amylynn Johnson, and five grandsons. Michelle is a business owner and Amylynn is a pharmacist. Jennifer is retired from State Farm Insurance and the Randy Johnson Agency.

Paul became a Knight because he wanted to better serve God and his Church. As a 4th Degree Knight, Paul has been active in our Council since its inception. He is charter member, but has been a Knight for many years prior to the founding of Council 10937. He was our Chancellor in 2007 through 2009, our Deputy Grand Knight in 2009 through 2011, and our Grand Knight from 2011 through 2013. He has been active in every activity and event sponsored by our council and has received our Knight and Family of the month several times.

Outside of the Knights, Paul is a member of the Colorado Pilots Association and the Littleton Retired Men��s Club.

Paul feels that ���we the people need to take a more active role in electing people to Congress and that term limits are a must��. ���Our founding fathers of this country never envisioned a Congress of professional politicians��, he said. He hopes that our new Pope, Frances, ���cleans out the bureaucracy in the Church and brings it back to serving God and shepherding the people of God.��

He feels that family values are in trouble. ���People are worshipping work and material things and not working on strengthening family ties and values. Morality is sliding down a slippery slope due to a lack of respect for life.��

Paul had a very good and rewarding career in the airlines. He was able to travel a lot and is still visiting places that he and Jennifer have not been. But most of all, Paul and Jennifer enjoy their family and shepherding the growth of their grandsons.
