After high school graduation Paul began working with a local company that produced animal supplements, specifically, preventative antibiotics in animal feed. It was during this time he became interested in earning his degree in Chemistry. Paul's passion for becoming a chemist helped him through the tough courses at both Grand View College and Iowa State University. After earning his degree from ISU, he began working at Abbott Laboratory in Illinois. He spent nearly 30 years as a chemist for Abbott. Paul's hopes to help others who are seeking a degree in Chemistry to succeed by offering this scholarship.
