Your Birding Story

Geoff Heeter

Paul has been a birder since the age of 11. He took a hiatus from ages 13-17 because it wasn’t very "cool". How wrong he was! Paul is currently in the midst of filming a documentary about birding with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and is on the board of directors for The American Birding Association. He is one of the premier award-winning creatives working in Canadian advertising today and has his own privately owned international ad agency called Round that services clients in Canada, the USA and all over the world.
