I had the good fortune of meeting Jared Paul at my first design job almost 10 years ago. Whether you are in commercial or residential design, you probably know Jared, as he is a man with many hats. I thought I was busy, but it is hard to hold a candle to all the endeavors that Jared has his hands in. Not only is he an amazing designer, he runs a very successful independent sales firm JPI, and he owns Paul + Raulet at ADAC. Walking into Paul + Raulet now, you would never know that is has been around since 1960, as Jared has infused his own sense of style and fun into the showroom. My favorite, of course, is that you can usually catch an old episode of Dynasty playing on the TV! No matter what Jared has to juggle - he still always manages to have a good time and make life enjoyable. I'm lucky to call him my friend!
