2006 Interview


Celebrity home renovator and master carpenter Paul DiMeo makes family’s dreams come true each week on the ABC hit show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

A native of Media, Pennsylvania, the youngest son of five children began his passion for home renovation at the age of five after his home sadly burned to the ground, sparking he and his father to embark upon their own extreme makeover to reconstruct their family home. Realized that his true talent was helping other people, Paul started "Loft Living" and began renovating lofts and brownstones in New York City and Los Angeles.

In this February 2008 interview with host Rafael Siegel, Paul shares his very own cardiovascular story and how he has made heart health a priority. He displays the "Artery Explorer," a motion simulator provided by the "Us Against Athero Campaign" with which Paul is involved. The campaign educates Americans about atherosclerosis, the progressive build-up of plaque in the inner walls of the arteries.
