Boasting Bengal: Paul Jewkes

Paul Jewkes has traveled the state but found his love in southern Utah. And that's just not education speaking. He went to Dixie State College on a whim--quite literally; he packed his bags and left at midnight to arrive the day before school started. His whim proved to be a good thing as he was introduced to my wife, Jessica Fotheringham, at the same school. After immediately hitting it off, they dated for four years, married, and 3 years later they had their son, Zander.

Southern Utah continued to infuse Paul's life. He was a corporate trainer for the Olive Garden from 2002 to 2007 while owning a home in Herriman, Utah, but then he moved back to St George, where his family started Sand Hollow Resort. Sand Hollow was rated the number-one place to play in Utah by Golf Week Magazine. So what is he doing now? Selling the resort of course, which is just one part of his experience in real estate, his current industry of choice. In his spare time, Paul has taken up web design as a hobby/source of lunch money and also spends time golfing.

It looks like it is official--Paul loves St. George and says he will not make it back up north anytime soon.
