Personal Life
Hogan was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia and attended De La Salle College, Malvern. After school, and a two-year stint in the Australian Army, he entered the Australian Diplomatic Service, beginning a 26 year career. As a diplomat Hogan was posted to Canada, Yugoslavia, Jamaica, the Caribbean, Los Angeles and Argentina. His area of expertise was the administration and operation of Embassies, and as a Consul, caring for the affairs and welfare of fellow citizens who sought assistance from the Embassy.
After leaving the diplomatic service, Hogan moved to the USA and opened a bed and breakfast which he ran for a number of years before selling it. As a prerequisite to reinventing himself as a butler, Hogan enrolled as a full time student at the New England Culinary Institute where he completed the first half of the two year Culinary Arts program. This was followed by a three month private study tour to the wine regions of France, Eastern Australia and California. As a butler/estate manager, Hogan worked in Aspen, Houston, New York, New Jersey, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and the Bahamas.
When not involved in television production, Paul Hogan continues to work as a relief/temporary butler, trainer and consultant.

“The wind sprang up at four o’clock
The wind sprang up and broke the bells
Swinging between life and death”
