Hi Friends,  
	 
	My name is Paul. I'm from North Carolina. I've worked in commercial real estate, chocolate manufacturing, edTech, and serve on non-profit boards. I have been a passive stock market investor until recently. Most of my investing is from real estate and venture capital. I like the data signals available from the stock market.  
	 
	My hobbies and interest include, ceramic arts, hiking, music, and cooking.  
	 
	I'm passionate about social and climate issues. Currently, I'm creating a solar loan product for new home construction.  
	 
	Good to be with you all. 
	Paul
