I know Paul through Big Brothers Big Sisters, where I currently serve as Marketing and Communications Manager. Our first interaction was a conversation about his relationship with his mentee, Searcy, for featured content that would help tell the story of our mission. From the very beginning, Paul and Searcy’s bond and Paul’s genuine service to the Houston community stood out in a way that stayed with me throughout the year I have had the privilege of knowing him.
Anytime I needed Paul for a marketing project, he was there. He always responded to my emails and texts, no matter how small the request. That was simply who Paul was. He was dependable, kind, and deeply committed.
When Paul was awarded Big Brother of 2025, there was no hesitation in my desire to continue featuring him and Searcy. Paul showed up every single time. He showed up for Searcy, he showed up for our mission, and he showed up for his community. There is something incredibly special about a person who chooses consistency and reliability, because showing up is one of the greatest gifts a person can give.
I am truly honored to have worked with Paul, and on behalf of Big Brothers Big Sisters, we are beyond grateful that he chose to serve as a Big Brother.
