Born 60 seconds before Theo, Paul is, technically, the middle of Leslie and Ilene Epstein's three children. Raised in Brookline with sister Anya and twin brother Theo, Paul graduated from Brookline High and headed off to Wesleyan a short 25 minutes from Theo and Anya at Yale. While playing soccer and studying classics, he discovered a passion for working with youth when he became a Big Brother. The experience completely changed the direction of his life and he embarked on a career in social work. After working in residential treatment at The Home for Little Wanderers, where he met his lovely wife, Saskia Grinberg, he earned an MSW from BU in 1998. He has worked as a social worker at Brookline HS for 7 years. Last year he was on a year long sabbatical to work on Saskia’s and his vision to open the only youth community center in Brookline. In 2005, he co-founded the Foundation to be Named Later with Theo. He is currently the Social Worker at Brookline High School. He and Saskia live in Brookline with their two beautiful children, Annika and Ezra.

Paul has run 3 Boston Marathons, rode many times in the Pan Mass Challenge and competed in many road races around the Commonwealth. He enjoys playing basketball and soccer for fun!

Epstein's grandfather Philip G. Epstein and great-uncle Julius J. Epstein won Academy Awards for the screenplay of Casablanca, while his father served as head of an English department at Boston University.
