Paul Epstein

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 is  a social worker at Brookline High School and co-founder, with his wife Saskia, of the only youth community center in Brookline - The Brookline Teen Center.  In 2005, he co-founded the Foundation to be Named Later with Theo.  He and Saskia live in Brookline with their two beautiful children, Annika and Ezra.

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.
