Hi there and welcome My name is Paul and although I really doubt I will have many visitors at my homepage, I decided to create one anyway, Just in case any old friends were looking to find out about me.. First... My history, I am a small town lad who grew up in the Village of Omemee, Ontario, Canada. After completing High-school at nearby St. Peter's Secondary School, I was off to Ottawa, the Capital of Canada, where I studied Sociology... What ya going to do with a degree in sociology? I'm still wondering the same thing.... | |||||||||||||||||||||||

A year after graduating, I was accepted to go overseas for a 2 and a half year period, to work in the Amazon region of Brazil.... In January of 1995 I was off... I spent my first 3 months in Brazil's Capital, Brasilia, where I met many wonderful people and learned to speak portuguese. After that it was off to the Amazon, Where I lived for 2 years with the Catholic Bishop of the area. Jorge Marskell, the Bishop of Itacoatiara Amazonas was one of the kindest most giving people I had ever met, and I was very lucky to have had the chance to meet him. I spent my time in Amazonas working with Youth groups, and I got the chance to travel by boat up and down the amazon. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| ...Then The big life change. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Then when I wasn't expecting it, it happened.. I met a wonderful Amazon woman and fell in love | After I returned home in March of 1997, I couldn't forget Rosa, so once I had re-established myself back here in Canada, and found work. I went back down and on December 06th 1997 we were married!!! Rosa has a 5 year old boy named Bruno, who now is my son, and my little buddy. I spent the next 3 months fighting immigration to bring Rosa into the country. My sisters teased me that I was married and separated all in 2 months. Lucky for me however it did not take too long, and Rosa and Bruno arrived here in toronto, Canada on March 6th 1998. Since then we've been doing well. Sometimes I think back if I have any regrets in my life I have a wonderful family and Since comming back to Canada have been very happy with my new life, however, I have let a lot of old friends slip out of my life. I guess if there are any regrets, the only ones are that I wish I hadn't lost touch with some of those people. And it is especially for that reason that I have begun this website. I would like for anyone who knew or knows me, who stumbles across this website to e-mail me. I'll take ya out for a beer or a doughnut or something! OK. Life is too short. Go out and make it happen.
