About

Months after receiving my 1992 BS in mechanical engineering from UMass/Lowell, a car crash resulted in the loss of my lower left leg. Full-time athletic training and competition soon followed. I’ve been fortunate to have since set a world record in Ironman Triathlon and have represented my country at the Sydney and Athens Paralympic Games, leaving the latter with a silver and bronze.

Motivational speaking snuck into my repertoire over the years beginning with speaking to students of all ages across the country. My current occupation as a professional keynote speaker - echoing the power of attitude, optimism and work ethic - has been a culmination of years of hard work and commitment to building the life I wish to live.

My wife Sharon and I are proud parents of Jack and Luke Martin - sources of constant inspiration and pride.

"I've known Paul for many years and have marveled at his determination,
tenacity, and willpower. He has a wonderful optimistic outlook and Drinking from My Leg is a must read for any athlete."
—Dave Scott, 6-time Ironman World Champion

"This is the perfect book for every triathlete. You'll laugh so loud and be so inspired that you won't even notice Paul just talked you into signing up for your first Ironman. It's pure comical motivation!"
—Chris McCormack, 2007 Hawaiian Ironman World Champion

"Since 1989 I've witnessed over 100,000 Ironman finishers. Paul's 1998 Ironman of raising his leg over his head after he finished is one of my top 10 Ironman memories of all time. Paul is a true Ironman not only at a finish line but in life."
—Mike Reilly, "The Voice of Ironman"

"Collectively, these true-life stories illuminate the actions of a man whose every challenge--whether overcome successfully or not--only seems to make him love life more. Fiercely energetic, humorous, well-written and wise, Drinking from My Leg is excellent reading—for both athletes and those who are not."
—Joan Schweighardt is the author of Gudrun's Tapestry and other novels
