About
Paul Price has taught at UW-WC since fall 1998. Born in Lubbock, Texas, he’s lived in San Antonio, Los Angeles, and Beaver Dam. He received a BS and MS in Geology from Texas Tech University, two degrees he parlayed into a brief stint as a programmer in Los Angeles. He made up for the short programming career by spending many years as a doctoral student in geography at UCLA. Eventually, after teaching at Santa Monica College, jouncing through the Northridge earthquake, experiencing the LA riots up close, feeling the heat of fires burn slopes behind his apartment, dodging mud flows in the canyons, and having his car broken into by people who eventually decided he had nothing to steal, migrated to Wisconsin because he heard they had blizzards. Luckily, Kristin, his wife-to-be, lived there and was friends with Cathy Helgeland who roped him into his first position with the Colleges as an IAS at Fond du Lac. Currently, he teaches a little and spends most of his time dealing with voluminous email traffic as Senate Steering chair for the UW Colleges. The little time left over, he spends reading old Nancy Drew novels to his daughter, Kyra.
