Accomplished engineers Paul and Karen are also passionate about contributing to our community – and having fun! They show up and engage with others, helping to inspire everyone around them to experience the joy of giving, advocating, and loving our neighbors.
To see Paul and Karen in action makes everyone feel bigger, respected, and lifted up. Whether it’s Paul advocating for our belief that “Everyone Deserves a Home” at an event or in a conversation with a community member, taking the time to express genuine gratitude to Compass staff and supporters, or Karen and Paul helping to prepare and serve meals at our programs, they create a sense of belonging for everyone.
For many years, Paul has played Santa Claus over the holidays at our programs, to the delight of residents and guests. Paul has served as a board member, board president, and is a founding member of our Ambassador Council.
Paul and Karen, often with one of their loving guide dog “trainees” by their side – are beloved members of our Compass family. They inspire us to lead with compassion and a big heart, no matter the season.
By generously investing their time, talent, and treasure for so long, Paul and Karen have helped many people change their lives! It’s a beautiful impact.
