PARTNER, VICE PRESIDENT OF STRATEGY AUDIOLOGYDESIGN

Paul Dybala ‘89 saw the World Wide Web for the first time in 1994 as a senior in college. After earning a master's and a doctorate in audiology, he got involved in hearing care startups and has not looked back. Paul helped build the first and largest online continuing education platform for the audiology profession, audiologyonline.com, as well as the leading hearing care information site for consumers, healthyhearing.com, impacting the lives of millions of visitors each year. Paul currently serves as a partner and vice president of strategy for AudiologyDesign, the premier provider of digital marketing for hearing clinics in the US serving over 1,300 locations.

Paul feels lucky to be able to send his kids to Bishop Lynch. He has supported them and the school by serving as a school board member, being the unofficial BL band “Hype Man,” as well as together with his wife, Kelly, establishing endowed scholarships to support the Fine Arts at Bishop Lynch.

Since 1990, the Bishop Lynch Alumni Association has recognized those graduates who have best exemplified the Bishop Lynch tradition and Dominican heritage of service to the community.

Each honoree should show commitment to the school and its mission and should serve as a model to all of what Christ has called us to become.

The criteria of the Alumni of the Year Award include excellence in the following areas: service to Bishop Lynch High School, service to the community, and success in his or her chosen field.

Congratulations and thank you to our inspiring Alumnus of the Year for truly living out the mission of what a Bishop Lynch education calls its students to do!
