He went to the State University of New York and graduated with a bachelors of science degree in accounting in May of 1992 and an MBA in corporate finance in May of 1994.
Upon graduating, he worked as a CPA and consultant at the international firm Ernst & Young, LLP where he worked in both the Atlanta, Georgia office and in the national headquarters office in Cleveland, Ohio. With a desire to work with individual clients rather than corporate entities, he left the corporate world and became the original founder of Niagara Financial Advisors, LLC an SEC registered investment advisory firm in Alpharetta, Georgia.
With a goal of assisting clients to achieve a wealthy, healthy and happy lifestyle that is geared towards meaning and personal fulfillment, he then founded Kindzia Investments, Inc. in Duluth, Georgia.

He is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Certified Financial Planner (CFP).
Paul enjoys working with process oriented individuals who are willing and capable of achieving their objectives and goals in life. His clients are interested in building wealth and becoming more financially secure. Building wealth is a combination of time, a process, and discipline. It's very similar to athletics. Over years of executing a solid plan, most individuals can become financially secure which allows them the time to do the things that they love to do in life. He looks to work with people that have certain characteristics; motivation to achieve financial security, discipline to execute a plan, the patience to let time work on their side, and the desire to take action. It doesn't matter where you start, it's where you finish and how much you enjoyed the process of achievement. Sacrificing everything for some point decades down he road in life might turn out to be a foolish mistake if you don't live to see the day a few decades down the road. There has to be a balance between achieving financial success and enjoying your life while doing the things you love.
He is extremely passionate about his philosophy; being wealthy, healthy and happy. When asked why he stated, "The money doesn't mean a darn thing if you aren't healthy enough to enjoy it. The two most important things in life are "meaning" and "health." Building wealth allows you the freedom and security to enjoy your limited time on earth. Real wealth allows you to use your time wisely pursuing your passions. When it is all said and done, everybody has 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. No more and no less. It's the ability to use those 24 hours each day effectively that can lead to happiness."
