*Website Lovingly Gifted by the Pedersen Children*
Paul has been married for 35 years to Jennifer, and together they have four children (Hallie, Zack, Brock, and Carlie), two daughters-in-law (Megan and Brooke), a son-in-law (Liam), and a son-in-law-to-be (Logan). Jen and Paul were thrilled to welcome their first grandchild, Nolan David, to the family in January 2023, their second grandchild, Cooper Daniel, in August 2024, and their third grandchild, Lincoln Matthew, in May 2026. All the kiddos have been heavily influenced by their dad's connection to sports, participating throughout and beyond their education in a multitude of activities. They have their own interests, goals, and dreams, but enjoy gathering together in Bloomington as a family. Jen and Paul's favorite hobby is being grandparents!
