Paul Wilson

Paul Wilson grew up in La Habra, California. After college, he spent three years in the U.S. Army. He then headed into police work, where he served for 18 years before retiring from the force. During that time, Paul's interest in tile led him to also become a licensed California tile contractor. His traditional approach to the installation of stone and ceramic tile on floors, tub surrounds, showers, countertops, fireplaces, exterior building facades, and many sometimes unique projects bred many loyal customers.

Paul is currently a ceramic tile consultant and still does limited contracting for his most special clients. He holds the honorary position as the assistant director for the Ceramic Tile Institute of America in Culver City, CA. His duties there include a teaching, conducting ceramic and stone tile inspections, and writing specifications. When he is not working, Paul enjoys hunting, fishing, riding ATV's, mountain and road cycling, and mountain hiking.

Paul began his work with DIY Network while appearing in a Habitat for Humanity expose shot in North Carolina. Now he hosts the popular DIY workshop, Tiling Techniques.
