Paul Tuggle

Senior Asset Operations Technician
Asset Management

First UTSW job: Receiving Clerk. 

Best part about my job: Meeting a lot of folks daily. 

What energizes me at work: I like interacting with people. 

How co-workers describe me: Pretty funny. 

Recipe for success: I’m easy to get along with and quick-witted. I try to treat everyone as nonstrangers. I like to be treated that way. 

I’m really good at: I am the fishing master. I don’t just fish – I catch. 

Claim to fame: I have played drums with Judas Priest, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, Warren Haynes of Gov’t Mule, Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society, and Steve Vai.

Passion: Drumming. I have played the drums for over 35 years. I enjoy being in a band and do live gigs a couple of times a month. 

Surprising fact: I collect old breweriana – pre-1970 items such as cans, trays, signs, and neon lights. I love old pre-Prohibition items too, but they can be a bit pricey.
