DANIEL BLUE: MEET PAUL SPARKS >>>

Tacomafilespaulsparks Tacomafilesart Paul Sparks is a modern Magi. Having devoted his life to the pursuit of wisdom long ago, Paul lived in the hills of Northeast Tacoma for many years before moving to Downtown and embedding himself into the workings of our diverse urban community. The view from his apartment was incredible, looking west toward our great city, it was as if he were charting a course from that vantage across the water to our beloved metropolis.

Paul reads more books than you, his personal library is ridiculous and fills the spare bedroom in his home.   

He and his wife, Liz, are extremely hospitable and will fill your bellies with wine and delicious fare; but beware, they are careful listeners and will ask clever questions of you that cause divulgence of the most personal kind. No malice is intended in their collection of your stories, it is very simply how they have come to understand themselves and the world around them: that is, through the stories of their people.   

Paul is the definition of the term "life coach," and in a careful and calculated way he finds the places that you will fit best in this world, if only by listening to your answers to his unending stream of wizard like questions.
