Bio: Regulatory Support Services was founded in 1994 to assist funeral homes with OSHA compliance. Shortly following our founding, services were expanded to include compliance assistance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Funeral Rule as well as state’s funeral laws and regulations. Along the way, several dental and medical clients joined our client family.

Paul received his North Carolina Funeral Service license in 1982. He worked for a funeral home in Durham, North Carolina from 1983 until 2004 when he was named Executive Director of the North Carolina Board of Funeral Service. In 2012, Paul and his wife Theresa purchased a majority interest in Regulatory Support Services and finalized purchase of all interest in the company in 2016. Outside of serving Regulatory Support Services’ clients, Paul’s interests include collecting vintage wristwatches, reading and spending time with his family. Paul and Theresa make their home in Durham and have one adult son, Pearce.
