It is not what you do but how you do what you do that defines you as a person. Paul dedicated his life and love to the long term care profession. He served as Administrator of Marquis Care at Plaza Regency for 10 years and a past President of the Nevada Healthcare Association. He chose to set high standards of excellence and relentlessly reinforced quality. Most importantly Paul touched the lives of people every day with his deep compassion. He recruited and retained excellent employees and encouraged staff to continue to grow and become leaders. Each person he encountered was treated with dignity and respect. Paul would do anything for a friend, including his staff. If you would have met Paul, you would have found out quickly that he was intensely proud of his facility and staff, his wife Dhyani, and his son Jonathon. Even though Paul will be greatly missed, his legacy will continue to live on.
