Paul Rolly

News columnist

Paul began his career at The Tribune in 1973. He has been a columnist for more than 25 years. He previously covered nearly every beat at the paper and spent some time as an editor. He is a graduate of the University of Utah and is a fanatic Ute fan, which, he says, because of the many heartbreaks through the years, builds character.
