AIN Interview: XOJet’s Paul Touw touts virtues of two-model fleet
Paul Touw had barely finished high school when his entrepreneurial spirit started paying dividends.

Paul Touw had barely finished high school when his entrepreneurial spirit started paying dividends. Enrolled at University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif., and short on tuition funds, he noticed that the physics department lacked good lab books.

“So I wrote one on one of the first Macs and took it to a printer,” Touw recalled. “I sold it for $25, and 400 students bought it every semester because the physics department approved it. So I would net $7,000 or $8,000 every semester. I would walk from the book department to the tuition department and pay my tuition.”
