A committed Christian actively involved in his church as a member, council member, and organizer in major fund-raising campaigns, Paulus enjoys organic gardening, aerobic exercising, and construction handy work. He studied yoga, eastern and western meditation techniques, and is a former martial arts instructor. Stefan Paulus is married and the proud parent of three children. He lives in Chicago but hopes to retire to a more rustic area where he can further experiment with organic farming techniques and live a calmer, more sustainable lifestyle.
