Paul Ruderman
Artist, Writer, and Small Business Owner in Montclair, New Jersey
I am first a dad and a husband - with twin 10-year old boys who very well may be the starting backcourt for Duke in 2023. Second, I love to build things from scratch, from a seed of an idea. I used to write songs. I used to start bands. I then taught myself some light coding and began building websites for businesses. I then co-founded a niche healthcare software company (LiveProcess), and built that up for 8 years. And now I'm launching an incredibly exciting startup called UpdateZen to change the way people get updated by other people. I play music, I listen to music, I run 15 miles a week, I podcast once in a while, and I play a great deal of sports with my boys. I coach soccer, baseball and soon, basketball. I spend alot of time in my favorite spot - Lake Goosepond in the Berkshires. I try to spend time with terribly interesting people who have an opinion and can articulate it passionately. I think I'm pretty grounded, but am an unapologetic dreamer. It works for me because I'm also obsessed with getting things done. Ok, gotta go do something...
