Behind the startups, inventions, installations, and constant travel is a family life Paul cares about deeply.

Paul and his wife Elaine Linden raised two sons, John and David. David served in the United States Air Force and later became a Sergeant with the Henderson Police Department in Nevada.

There is one detail that captures Paul perfectly: his most important patent, U.S. 5,136,426, was issued on August 4, 1992 — Elaine's birthday. He's proud of the coincidence, and still likes to point it out.
