A Man of Many Talents

Brian Paul married his sweetheart, Tamara in 1991. It was their dream to one day live in Corbett. In 1992 they rented the small cottage on the corner of Mershon Rd. and the Scenic Hwy. from Floyd and Dorthy Bates. This is where son Jacob came to live when he was born, and they have since had another son and daughter. After renting the cottage, the Paul's purchased the "Old Canzler Place" located between the Springdale Tavern and the church. Employment drew them up to Washington for a time, and yet NO one in the family was happy with the relocation. Fortunately they made their way back to the loving arms of "their" Corbett community. Last year they purchased the yellow home with the huge shop just across the road from Big Bear's Market. Jacob has now graduated from Corbett High and keeps busy with a part-time job there while also attending college.  Brian is helping to coach the Corbett Boy's Basketball team and had a successful season as the Varsity Boy's Soccer coach. Not only is he a busy coach, but has also started work at Starbucks in Gresham. Need any brake work done? Brian is able to use his enormous shop to help friends and family with car repairs, specializing in brake work. He is also quite handy with any type of remodeling work. When asked what the favorite part of his home/property is, the obvious answer was "the shop!!" Brian says he has no interest in moving again. He says Corbett is the best place ever to live, and it is the people that make it so special.
