After many years of assisting employers with their information technology, networking administration and engineering, and accounting/business needs, I was laid off from the California real estate company I worked for due to a dramatic downsizing they underwent as a result of the real estate market recession. 
 
Realizing that many people are hurting and needing help, I formed Employer and Business Technology which is dedicated to helping Christians with vision accomplish what God has laid on their hearts in business but also in ministry. 
 
I have also finished a Masters of Divinity degree in 2010, was certified as an apologist and accepted as a member of the International Society of Christian Apologetics founded by Dr. Norman Geisler, and completed specialized leadership training at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA.
 
During that process I donated a portion of my time and abilities as a country leader for a Christian college and founded Christians Helping Our World as a Christian ministry offering free and nearly free educational resources to build up Christians everywhere. Though various origins positions exist, I articulated an old earth Christian worldview aimed at helping atheists and agnostics at The Reality and Life Institute as a free evangelistic and educational resource.
 
I have many abilities and am committed to the task of being a part of Christians successfully implementing their visions. Paul Pothier is an MBA and M.Div. with a Bachelor's of Science and many technical certifications currently seeking God's perfect will for his life in the areas of business and ministry.
