Πολυχρόνης Αντωνόπουλος (Paul Anton) was born in Milwaukee, WI.


Paul graduated from Boston College with a degree in political science and earned his law degree from University of San Francisco Law School. He is proud to be 100% Greek. His father's family is from Σκληρού, a small village in Πελοπόννησος near the mountains in Ανδρίτσαινα. His mother's family is also from Πελοπόννησος, from a small village near Τρίπολη, called Βισίκιον. His parents instilled a love of and deep connection to both the Greek culture and country of Greece just as my grandparents did for them.


Tune in to learn about Huupe, how the concept was born, and what it takes to build Huupe.
