Paul Callahan is a native of Oxford, Maryland. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Paul graduated from the Catholic University of America, was commissioned as an officer and assigned to fly the F/A-18 aircraft. In between flying tours, he was an Arms Control Treaty Planner with the On-Site Inspection Agency located in Washington, D.C., working within countries of the former Soviet Union coordinating humanitarian aid, then later, working with the Cuban boat people escaping the Castro regime.
After the military, Paul’s career found its way to the airline industry, but in early 2021, he went on a multi-year medical leave of absence while undergoing treatment for cancer. Having additional time on his hands, he turned his attention toward a life-long interest in Maryland history; local historical figures of Talbot County, Maryland in particular. His research resulted in a recently released book, “When Democracy Fell – The Subjugation of Maryland During the U.S. Civil War.”
