Writer
Paris is an observer of the human experience. Naturally curious with a tendency to question everything and being somewhat irreverent, Paris enjoys exploring the culture of people and of companies to gain an understanding of the origin and nostalgia that defines the kernel of a ritual, a process, an activity, or other goings-on.
A grand storyteller – Paris prefers to convey a message or teach a lesson through the use of anecdotes than by the more forensic and traditional academic-style texts.
All of his articles are thoroughly researched with extensive use of hyperlinks to the supporting information source. He takes great pains to ensure what he writes is reinforced - especially any facts that might be cited - and that he is never offering just another unsubstantiated opinion like most “talking heads”.
Paris’ wry sense of humor and use of bold statements to convey an opinion, illuminate a perceived absurdity, or to challenge the status quot are designed to provoke the reader into thinking and taking a position – even if contrary to his own (perhaps especially so).
