Robert Paul was born in the small town of Española, New Mexico. Growing up poor, he was abused by his mother. Being the oldest of four siblings (all born to different fathers), Robert was presented with many challenges early on in life. Subsequently, he was uprooted at the age of six to San Pedro, California—to a different world with more significant issues to face. As a young teen, Robert began to drink heavily and added drugs to his already-tumultuous life. From birth to early adulthood—Robert had an extremely challenging existence with his mother, which took an extraordinary effort to heal!

Out of the ashes, Robert found a way to become a successful business owner. He eventually completed two marathons and numerous half-marathons and kicked the drug and alcohol habit on November 2, 2007. His story to stop drinking, doing drugs, and accepting himself and others is awe-inspiring!  

Robert’s mission in life is to help abused children and bring awareness to their plight. He is also reaching out to those afflicted with drug and alcohol dependency with his life coach expertise and inspirational public speaking ability to encourage all he encounters!  Robert can be contacted at asleep@robertpaulcreations.com with any comments or questions.
