Dr. Tom Paulson

I joined the board to “give back”. I am appreciative of the many blessings my family and I have received from being part of the Snohomish community. I am grateful for the contributions that educators, coaches, administrators in public and private schools have had in helping me in my life and career.  I have a great appreciation of the role that a strong education system contributes to both the financial and physical vitality of this community. SEF is a logical manner to “give back” to both the community and to education. I am a father of a 14 year old freshman at Snohomish High School. My wife, Julie, and I have been married for 27 years. I have spent over 20 years of my life receiving formal education and life-long learning is a core value of our family. I graduated from Federal Way High School, Western WA University, Medical College of Wisconsin and University of California, Irvine. My wife taught primary grade level in the Snohomish School District and I am a Physician Executive.
