Nevada leadership team. Business Bank of Nevada, considered one of the 
best performing independent banks in Nevada and throughout the country, 
operates through 7 branch offices in the state, Loan Production Offices 
in Arizona, and is in its 12th year of operation.
  In addition to his professional work, Paul has remained active in 
civic endeavors for the past 3 decades. He was the president of 
Business Watch Network and the Paradise Valley Lions Club. Paul also 
serves on the Board of Directors for SafeNest, the Boulder Dam Area 
Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and the Police Athletic League of 
Southern Nevada. Paul has also served on the Governor's Commission on 
Nuclear Projects and the City of Las Vegas Audit Oversight Committee.
