Paul Williams was born in 1948 in Malaysia, or Malaya, as it was then known, at the time of “the emergency,” which was brought about by the attempted communist infiltration of the then-British colony. After spending much of his childhood in Malaya, he returned “home” to England to complete his education; graduating from Oxford University before completing medical training in London. After qualifying, he moved to the United States, where he spent twenty years in academic medicine, rising to department chairman in a major university hospital. Having authored over one hundred articles chapters and books, he stepped down from his position and left the world of academic medicine behind to pursue other goals. He has traveled extensively, both as an international speaker and for personal pleasure, and enjoys a variety of outdoor sports. He now lives with his family in South Carolina.
