Peter, was born in southern California, but moved to Colorado when he was very young. His family has attended Living Way Fellowship for over 20 years, and he, along with several others of the pastoral staff, enjoys the unusual distinction of having grown up in the church where he now serves. After graduating from Columbine High School, he attended LIFE Bible College (back to southern California), graduating in May 2005. Peter was invited to join the Living Way Fellowship pastoral staff shortly after graduation, despite claiming to be the worst golfer in the Northern Hemisphere.

A loyal Broncos fan, Peter also enjoys gardening, world travel (he's visited twenty-five countries so far), and is something of an authority on fine coffees.
