Ron+Paul

toc =Brief bio:=

Ron Paul was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Paul began working at Harold's dairy at age five, and later delivered newspapers, worked in a drugstore, and became a milkman upon reaching driving age. One customer on his milk route was baseball legend Honus Wagner. He graduated from Gettysburg College and the Duke University School of Medicine, before proudly serving as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force during the 1960s.

During his early days, Paul was influenced by Friedrich Hayek's Road to Serfdom, which led him to read many works of Ayn Rand and Ludwing von misses while still a medical resident in the 1960s. He came to know economists Hans Sennholz and Murray Rothbard well and credits them with his fascination with the study of economics. On August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon closed the "gold window" by implementing the U.S. dollar's complete departure from the Gold standard, he says he realized what the Austrian School economists wrote was coming true.

He and his wife Carol moved to Texas in 1968, where he began his medical practice in Brazoria County. As a specialist in obstetrics/gynecology, Dr. Paul has delivered more than 4,000 babies! He and Carol, who reside in Surfside Beach, Texas, are the proud parents of five children and have seventeen grandchildren.
