A Lifetime of Collecting Experiences

At a young age Paul Hickey decided he would collect experiences. He was determined to visit as many cities and countries as possible. Along the way he made plenty of friends (and jokes) allowing him to now look back at age 92 and know he succeeded with his goal. Pauls inspiring life story goes from growing up on a modest tobacco farm in rural Kentucky to spending a 60-year international career in technology. Perhaps it was his Irish grandmother who became ill as an infant on an immigrant ship to New Orleans and was almost thrown overboard that instilled in him how to deal with lifes uncertainties by continuing to live to the fullest. He and his loving wife Judy raised their five children in Austin Texas before spending their golden years traveling the world for business. Weaved throughout Pauls stories are his secrets to nine decades of happiness: a strong commitment to family friends faith intellectual curiosity empathy to others and last but not least continual humor.
