Originally from Media, PA, the youngest son of five children, Paul attended Point Park College in Pittsburgh and majored in Theater Arts. He began perfecting his skill of set building for the Pittsburgh Playhouse, while also developing his other big love, acting. While serving as stage manager for the American Dance Ensemble, DiMeo started to build his own resume. A move to New York proved lucrative. Continuing to build a reputation for appearing both on and off the stage and while living in the East Village, he befriended the owners of the Open Space Theater on St. Mark's Place, built sets, learned the art of dumpster diving and went on to freelance for the Dance Theater of Harlem, the Yiddish Theater, Carnegie Hall and numerous off-Broadway and Broadway venues. He also pioneered the Loft Living project, working on the renovation of lofts and brownstones, and as master carpenter renovated the landmark brownstone of Aaron Burr.

Off-Broadway, Paul played the lead in director Al Carmines' In Circles and was stage manager for On 2nd Avenue and The Golden Boy. As a resident actor, he played Hamlet at King's County Shakespeare, Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing, as well as lead roles in The Bull and Wisdom's Age at the New York One Act Festival, winning first place for his performance. He has also appeared off-off Broadway in numerous roles, in particular at the 29th Street Playhouse and the Actors Repertory Theater. On screen he has costarred with John Lithgow on 3rd Rock from the Sun, in Dick Wolf's New York Undercover, and as Sparky the horse in the children's feature video, Sparky Moves to Manhattan.

After 17 years in New York, Paul headed to Los Angeles. Once again, he continued the Loft Living movement by moving into an old firehouse in downtown L.A. He excelled in his field, renovating the homes and businesses of Hollywood's movers and shakers. His client list includes the Beverly Hills' Ralph Lauren Polo store, the William Morris Agency, Glenn Close, Joan and Marty Ransholff, Arnold Rifkin, David Niven Jr., Ann Archer, Marjorie Lord, Angelo DeSapio and—his most memorable client—George Hamilton.

For Paul, life is all about finding humor in the little things you do, while keeping a smile and making a joke here and there—something he takes very seriously.
