Double Bass
AYO: 1979-1982
AYO National Music Camp: 1981-82
Paul studied music at Queensland University, played with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and taught at the Canberra School of Music before pursuing a career in finance. He’s enormously proud that one of his former students, Rob Nairn, is now professor of double bass at the Julliard School of Music and another, Tim Dunin, has a successful freelance career in Europe after having been principal bass of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
After completing an economics degree at the Australian National University in Canberra and a Master of Commerce at the University of NSW, Paul spent a decade as a corporate banker with Westpac.
He is a Sloan Fellow of Stanford University, having completed a Masters of Science at its renowned Graduate School of Business.
These studies and experiences provided the financial management skills and the entrepreneurial confidence to develop and lead his own company.
Paul founded Lannock Strata Finance in 2003 and it is now the leading strata lender in the country.
