Paul was born into a family of fisherman, being a third generation fisherman. He started fishing at a young age and would soon work his way up through the ranks, serving on various boats as he developed his fishing skills. Soon he would become the captain of his own ship and his net worth started increasing thanks to his success in the craft. This would lead him to be approached by the producers of the show “Wicked Tuna”.
“Wicked Tuna” is a series that follows various commercial tuna fishermen based in Gloucester, Massachusetts. These fisherman work in the North Atlantic Ocean searching for the highly valued Atlantic Bluefin tuna. The show follows several teams of fishermen who battle each other to see who can catch the most fish. Tuna fishing is one of the oldest industries of America and the show also sheds some light into the effects of fishing the species.

In the sixth season he earned $59,000, becoming the runner up once more.
The success of the show has led to various spin-offs including “Wicked Tuna; Hooked Up” which showcases additional thoughts and insights from the fishermen. Another show called “Wicked Tuna: North vs. South” also started with several vessels from the original show making appearances. Later on the show would be named “Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks”, and has been running for three seasons to date.
