I’m Eric Goldstein, the CEO of Amplify.com. A few things come to mind about Paul. First is Paul’s enormous passion for technology and social media. Second is Paul’s vast knowledge of the many different services that are available on the web and appreciation for the details and nuances that distinguish each. Third is that Paul has always been very kind and patient when offering advice and spotting areas where Amplify can be improved. Bottom line, I’ve got nothing but good things to say. ~ Eric Goldstein

I met Paul on Twitter via #lrnchat. His tweets intrigued me because of the similarities we share in our taste, in what we read, how we think about matters related to learning, collaboration, and communication. I started following him. His knowledge and passion for what he does is inspiring and awesome. Even more amazing is his genuine desire to help others, to share knowledge and motivate–in the true spirit of a learning professional. I am fortunate to have connected with him, to have interacted with him. All the best Paul. I am certain you will be just great at everything you do. ~ Sahana Chattopadhyay

Paul is one of those rare professionals who manages to strive for excellence both in his technical and his interpersonal skills. He finds tools that work, works to find ways to use them more effectively, and then coaches others so they can best use the available tools for learning and collaboration. His enthusiasm and constant efforts toward continuous improvement lead to a contagious atmosphere of motivation. ~ Janet Lanne Effron
