Paul Balmer
Paul started running cross country freshman year of high school to get in shape for the fledgling Portland, OR lacrosse scene. He embraced cross country and track as his main pursuit at Pomona College, where he captained both squads. Despite pledging to "hang up the spikes" after college, he found himself joining GRC shortly after moving to Washington, D.C. in June 2012 to work for Rep. Blumenauer (D-Oregon). Paul left DC in summer 2017 to pursue his law degree in his erstwhile greenery of the west coast.
A cross country runner at heart, Paul trained on the trails of Rock Creek Park while in D.C., even though he mostly keeps to road races.
