I have known Paul Weeks for about ten years. I met him while walking my dog and he was doing some landscape work. I asked if he would be interested in a small job and of course, he was. Paul showed up when he said he would, gave me a bid when he saidhe would and finished the job on time.

We talked for a brief time, and he said he was living in a house around the corner with a friend of his. As he did more work for us, we spoke more about his life. He shared his substance abuse and recovery. Paul told me he had just started his landscape business. It would be hard to do in your twenties, much less than where he was in life. He always found a way to make time for the small jobs I needed done and carve out time for a little conversation.

When we were invited to his talk, my wife and I made sure we could attend. Paul shared his life leading up to where he is now. The challenges he overcame, the poor choices he made and his personal struggle to get back on track. I think Paul’s honesty and his ability to accept his responsibility is inspiring. He will benefit individuals who have made bad decisions. Personal choices and professional decisions that compromise values. Anyone can make a bad decision, not everyone can overcome them and make their life, as well as others, better.

Paul can be an inspiration to most of us.

Sincerely,
Jim Nicolette
