(3)

At the age of two he was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. It severely limited his mobility and drastically affected his sense of balance. After heel cord surgery and physical therapy, he was able to walk by the age of five. He was raised to never say, “I can’t.” He started his own business at the age of eighteen. However, by the age twenty-three, he had seen that business fail and was a full time me

mber of the workforce. During this transition, Paul had neglected his physical therapy and health in general. He found himself overweight and having trouble walking. To remedy this decline in his health, Paul began practicing Shaolin Do Chinese Martial Arts at the age of twenty-four. Having been a martial arts enthusiast all of his life, Paul soon found kung fu to be a wonderful form of both physical and mental therapy. Five years later, Paul was healthier, stronger, and taller than he had ever been in his life. He has also become a respected competitor in several martial arts tournaments. In 2002, Paul added kettlebells to his workout. This simple change caused a remarkable increase in his physical abilities and his fitness level. Paul decided that he needed to share all of the benefits he had gained from martial arts practice and fitness training with other disabled people. He began working with this population as a Recreation Assistant. His stellar job performance earned him a promotion to Rehabilitation Assistant. Paul then worked as a Quality Living Assistant. His continually excellent job performance and experience led to him being certified by the Kentucky Department of Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities as a CPI Trainer of Direct Care staff. Paul then worked as an Assistant Case Manager. During these years he also continued to learn and grow as a martial artist and athlete. Throughout his work with the Special Needs Population, Paul’s unique combination of personal and professional experiences has enabled him to help many people with widely differing circumstances and capabilities. The benefits gained by individuals in his, Shaolin A.R.Ts program have been witnessed not only by the participants themselves but by family, friends, care providers, doctors and therapists.

Just an FYI… if we are friends on social media and you ask me to support your project or dreams, I will do so with enthusiasm.

I don’t care if we agree politically. I don’t care what you’re trying to do. I WILL support you in EVERY way possible NO MATTER WHAT.

Helping someone achieve their dreams is one of the best things we can do for another person!

So, in the spirit of this post… if you’re my friend and you love me but have yet to follow my Bent Monk band page or listened to and shared our single “Break Your Own Heart” PLEASE do it NOW!!!

It’s a few minutes and a small effort from you, but it makes a WORLD of difference and means EVERYTHING to us!!!

Thank you!!!

Hey my people! I know we all get asked to “like” and “share” stuff ALL the time!

The thing is, it’s VERY important for a new business or a new band to get as many “likes” “follows” and “shares” as possible!

It’s what makes the algorithm gods happy and drives more people to their products and music.

So, I ask ALL of my over 1,000 friends to PLEASE go “like” “follow” and “share” BENT MONK! Thanks VERY much! Love y’all!

I want to take a minute to thank Scott Risen, Kenneth Fraze, and Bradley Holt for making music with me in BENT MONK! This is SO much fun! I love you guys!

A HUGE “Thank You!” and TONS of love to Michael Moody for his musical recording wizardry and making the release of “Break Your Own Heart” possible!

The single will be everywhere once all the platforms finish their final processing. It’s on YouTube Music right now!

Everyone PLEASE go give it a listen, a like and a share! We need all the love and support we can get! Thank you! Much love!
