Paul Schmitz is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of ShowerUp. Paul and his wife, Rhonda, launched ShowerUp in the Fall of 2016, after Paul left a 30+ year career in radio to serve ShowerUp full time. The idea of mobile shower units started after discovering there were very few places to get a hot shower and take care of basic hygiene for the poor and homeless in Nashville. The mission of ShowerUp is to build relationships, restore hope and dignity, and show the love of God with those in need by providing them with shower services and personal care. 

Since starting in 2016, ShowerUp has expanded to Huntsville, AL, and will be coming soon to Wichita, KS.
