A lifelong duck hunter and outdoorsman, J. Paul began training dogs almost twenty years ago after a friend gave him a Lab pup for Christmas. Hooked by the experience, he continued to work with both his own dogs and those of friends. Finally, in 1999 with the support of his wife, Melanie, he left his career as a Registered Nurse and began training full time.

Today J. Paul and Melanie operate one of the most successful kennels in the country, Lone Oak Retrievers, in Dyersburg, Tennesse. While almost all of the retrievers they train are hunting dogs, they also compete in over 30 field trail and hunt test events each year. To date they have turned out over 40 Hunting Retriever Champions and Master Hunters. Addtionally, J. Paul won the Gold Medal retrievr trial at the ESPN Great Outdoor Games in 2004, and he followed with a Silver Medal in the ESPN Super Retriever Series Crown Championship in 2005.

In addition to retriever training, J. Paul currently serves as the Retriever Editor of Delta Waterfowl magazine, and he frequently contributes ot a number of other hunting publications.
