Paul was instrumental in guiding the philanthropic transition of a 40-acre farm to Florida International University—a process that required both sensitivity and strategic insight. Through his professionalism and deep understanding of land use, charitable giving, and long-term planning, we were able to structure a 10-acre sale to Lions Fruit Farm as part of the broader vision. His leadership and knowledge made the process seamless.

Thanks to Paul’s foresight and relationship-building, we are now initiating an exciting partnership with Xplore Media to develop our portion of the farm into a luxury glamping destination focused on tropical fruit and environmental education. Paul’s ability to bridge finance, philanthropy, and sustainable development is rare—and deeply appreciated.

Peter Fedele, Owner

“Paul has been a trusted advisor and friend to me and to Redland Ahead through his position at Florida International University for almost two decades. His insight, discretion, and genuine care set him apart. Paul played a key role in building relationships between the Agricultural and Engineering departments at FIU and establishing an international partnership with the University of Almería in Spain, focusing on environmental and ecological applications of hydroponic agriculture and desalination—two critical areas for the future of farming and tourism. He listens
deeply and delivers meaningful results, particularly for our environmental and tropical research programs. His credibility with donors and his unique ability to connect passion with purpose have made him truly indispensable.

We now look forward to working with Paul to develop and implement a marketing strategy that will showcase our ecological and subtropical agricultural model, integrating it into a luxury glamping facility that highlights our products while advancing education, sustainability, and tourism.”
