Paul D is a rock star in his own image. He has endured countless occasions in which he had to choose from splendor or restraint. Paul D is an icon with which there is no rival within the realm of Tennis Professionalism. Paul D is a name that will forever endure in the hearts of those which knew him. In the early years, Paul D was a quiet, self sufficient child. He knew the love of his parents, but also knew the love of another.... the games. He first sought eyes to the game of sport. The game of American Baseball. He did well as a youth, playing baseball and all of the desired positions. It was years later that he realized Tennis was his true calling. Baseball, football, soccer..... they were of no true meaning as was Tennis. The first time Paul D laid fingers to grip of tennis racket, it was fate pronounced at that very instance. He knew that tennis would be his lives venture, and with that he pursued with vigor. After meeting a friend of significance( Joseph ), he realized that his talents lie best in the art of teaching and not that of waiting at ( McDonalds ). His friend soon left for the military and Paul D found himself at a crossroads. He decided after a few years time that he would accompany his long lost friend to the lands of Virginia. There he would find solace and an identity. In Virginia he became that of a legend a-midst. He did his talents to the best of anyone around him. Paul D was, for the briefest of times, a God among men. His accurate teachings to those old and young in the art of Tennis brought him little notoriety among his piers and such. He was a 'man without pause' in his teachings, but lacked the same with his business endeavors. This is the one precipice that drew him back to his roots; to Michigan bound, he would he stray. Even though he traveled back to the place from which he grew, he did not feel resentment, instead he felt liberation. Liberation from the tight rope he had walked upon for those brief years in the decelerate courts of Virgina. Here, in the land of 'Pure' was where I defined the Man I know to be, Paul D. Know one can claim that they know the future, that is certain, but I know this much is true: Paul D will rise among the ashes and prove himself a warrior to all that have fallen, all that remain, and all that is yet to be hopeful.
