In his youth, Paul played for Forestville Hockey Club in South Australia, and attended Unley High School. Upon retiring from international hockey he would later earn a Bachelor of Law, and is now a prominent lawyer in Sydney, Australia.

He is the only South Australian male, and one of only 19 males overall to have played over 200 international games for Australia.[2][3]
