Hot Husbands Finalist: Paul Long
Every weekday through Friday, May 30 we'll be unveiling our Hot Husbands finalists (in no particular order) one-by-one here at the 417 Blog. The purpose? To let you gradually get acquainted with the men you'll be voting on beginning June 1 in our first-ever Hot Husbands contest. You'll vote the 20 finalists down to our 10 Hot Husband winners, to be presented in the September issue of 417 Magazine. So of course we want you to have the information you need to make the best choices—though you can't go wrong with any of these guys.

Town: Bolivar
Occupation: Owner of Paul Long Agency, LLC
Family: Paul and his wife, Brenda, have three kids: 18-year-old Blake, 13-year-old Nick and 10-year-old Kennadie.
Why he’s great: Paul is ultra-involved in his hometown, from serving on the Bolivar Rotary Club and Bolivar Area Chamber of Commerce to volunteering for Enterprises Unlimited (a sheltered workshop for people with developmental disabilities). Why does he do it all? “I come from a long line of servant leaders,” he says. “And I guess it is just in my blood as I follow in my family’s footsteps.”
Hobbies: Golf, hunting, camping, exercise and traveling are some of Paul’s hobbies, but he says that one of my his hobbies is spending time with his 10-year-old daughter. “I love to take her on daddy date nights and soak up those moments as much as possible because I know she won’t be my little girl forever,” he says. “Well, she will be in my eyes!”
Why he’s a Hot Husband: He says: “I am blessed with a wonderful God, and awesome wife, three of the greatest kids in the world, the job of my dreams, the best friends a guy could have, loving parents, a great dog and a loving, serving heart. That sounds like a pretty attractive life to me, and if attractive is ‘hot,’ then I will let you be the judge.”
