ABOUT THE AUTHOR
A native Minnesotan, Phil Paquette is a successful businessman, a college professor, and grandfather to six grandchildren. A fan of author Garrison Keillor, he writes to share the experiences and lessons that have shaped his life. He began writing on Storyworth in 2022, after his children Tony and Christina gave him a subscription for his birthday. By his 200th story, he had not missed a week. His reflections have filled two books, with another collection on the way.
Created in celebration of his 75th birthday, Paquette Press is a home for those words—and for the stories still to come.
