Paulin first entered the Canadian Strongmen spotlight in 1999 in which he first reached the Canada's Strongest Man finals and finished in 9th place. Paulin received most of his training with the help of Girard and often shared the same training routine.[3] It was in 2002, that Paulin first reached the World Stage by finishing second in Canada's Strongest Man and repeated the same feat in 2003 and 2004. In 2003, Jessen qualified for the finals for the first and only time at the World's Strongest Man competition, eventually finishing in 8th place.[4]
In 2004, Girard suffered a major foot injury which kept him sidelined from the main competition for nearly two years. Paulin took advantage of Girard's absence in 2005 to become Canada's Strongest Man for the first time and reaching the world stage for the third time in four years. However, Paulin did not reach the Grand Finals of the competition.
In 2006, after successfully defending the Canadian crown, Paulin participated for the fourth time in the World Strongest's Man Competition held in China but finished in 5th position of his group during the first round. His group included former World's Strongest ManMariusz Pudzianowski.[5]
In 2007, after finishing second behind Dominic Filiou in Canada's Strongest Man, Paulin qualified for the World's Strongest Man competition for the third year in a row and fifth time in six years after winning the North America's Strongest Man competition which was held in his hometown during the Gatineau Hot Air Balloon Festival. Paulin, finished ahead of American competitor Brian Shaw by way of a tie-breaker after both finished the competition with 83 points In that event, Hugo Girard who attempted a comeback withdrew from the competition due to another injury.[6]
Jessen was scheduled to compete at the 2008 inaugural Fortissimus strongman event, but withdrew and officially retired from international strongman competition.[7]
