For more than two decades, he has undertaken expeditions to all corners of the globe, from Antarctica to the deserts of Mongolia, from the jungles of Central Africa to the Himalayas. He has used drones to search for dinosaur fossils, employed virtual reality to solve a World War II mystery, and solved a Rubik’s cube on the summit of Mount Everest.

On his expeditions, Paul pursued a variety of goals-scientific, physical, extreme endurance and the toughness-one goal was always the same: to keep the team together and get home safely-whether he faced mutiny on a tiny sailboat in the middle of the Atlantic, suffered life-threatening injuries in Indian waters, or was stranded for weeks in the polar regions.

He was one of only a handful of climbers to summit two eight-thousanders within 24 hours: in 2013, he conquered the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest, and just one day later, Lhotse, the fourth highest. He has also successfully conquered the Seven Summits, the highest mountains on each continent.
