In 1981, Paul saw a help wanted sign in a Pfaff dealership in Palo Alto, California and landed the job. He began learning the trade and in 1983, opened his own business in Tahoe City, California. Since then he has spent his entire life in the sewing machine industry, selling, repairing and training others on nearly every brand in the world.

 

He has worked in and managed several sewing machine stores as well as owning and operating three very successful sewing machine retail businesses of his own.

 

Upon moving to the Central Coast in 2007 he has concentrated strictly on repair and service of household, industrial and long-arm quilting sewing machines.

​

Paul repairs about 600 sewing machines per year, makes service calls throughout San Luis Obispo county, helps people and businesses overcome problems and lectures to guilds and groups,

 

His wife, Kate, is his inspiration for integrity, excellence, organization and consistancy in his business and personal life.
