Encina High School Hall of Fame
Paul Bonderson, Jr.
Paul Bonderson, Jr. (Class of 1970) knew at a young age that he wanted
to someday be an engineer, and an electronics class that he took at Encina
helped confirm both his aptitude and interest. His subsequent career saw
him rise to the pinnacle of success during the 1990s as co-founder of a
highly successful high-tech firm. In retirement, Paul has used the rewards
from that success to help others, from his generous support of the Encina
Alumni Challenge to his work in the field of wildlife conservation.
Paul graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a degree in electrical
engineering. He subsequently spent two decades working at major Silicon
Valley companies such as Intel and Sun Microsystems. In 1995 he cofounded Brocade Communications, which quickly became the market
leader in Computer Storage Area Networks. Over the years he served as
the VP of Engineering, VP of Strategic Development and Chief Technical
Officer of a company that at its peak was valued at $25 billion.
In retirement, Paul has generously donated time and resources to a variety
of boards and non-profit organizations. He currently serves as President of
Ducks Unlimited—a group that conserves, restores and manages wetlands
and associated habitats for North America’s waterfowl—and is an advisor
for the College of Agriculture at UC Davis. His love of nature and wildlife
is the result of the many hunting and fishing trips he took over the years
with his father.
In addition, Paul is on the Foundation Board at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo
and is past President of the school’s Engineering Advisory Board. He is
also on the Board of Directors for the Taylor Family Foundation, which
strives to enhance the quality of life for children in Northern California
with life-threatening illnesses and developmental disabilities through unique
therapeutic experiences and support.
Inducted April 22, 2016
Paul also has been very generous in his support of the Alumni Challenge,
each year offering a large amount in matching funds which has contributed
to the event’s overall success. Today he enjoys spending time on his ranch
in the Upper Butte Basin growing rice and maintaining numerous wetlands
and uplands for the conservation of waterfowl and animals. He and his wife
Sandi have two children, Rich and Trisha, and four grandchildren.
