He tagged and released dozens of sharks in the Florida Keys before realizing he was ill-equipped to handle the motion of the ocean, and seasickness finally got the best of him. Alligators seemed like a natural choice, and Paul has been capturing and rescuing them ever since. Sensing the need for more humane methods of removal and control, and for further education about the importance of protecting these reptiles, he made it his mission to bring alligator conservation to the masses.
Ever since, Paul has had a bigger platform than ever to advocate for the rights of the animals he has dedicated his life to protecting. Saving the lives of gators is a top priority for Paul and his crew. Still, Paul hopes his efforts at the park and beyond will help to change the reputation of these majestic reptiles.
Considering an alligator's lightning quick reflexes, one mistake could cost dearly, yet Paul approaches each and every rescue with the same confidence and self-assurance as he might if he were saving a kitten from a tree. He has deep respect and admiration for these amazing animals, and while he never denies the reality of the danger they pose, he concludes each catch with a kiss on the snout- after the jaws are secured of course!
His biggest catch to date? A whopping 13 feet, 5 inches! Battle Scars A lifetime of handling dangerous creatures is not without its risks. Not that this has ever dissuaded Paul, who in his spare time is also a championship Ironman competitor.
