Peter was born & raised in San Francisco and the arts always played a major role in Peter’s life. He studied piano, clarinet, and guitar and participated in school productions from elementary school through high school and beyond. While at Lowell High School, Peter’s love for theatre really blossomed. He entered UC Berkeley as a Dramatic Arts major but added Clinical Nutrition to offset his acting expenses. After graduating from Berkeley, Peter went on to open six San Francisco restaurants. He discovered what a compliment these two majors were as he often joked, “When you combine theatre and nutrition, you get restaurants.” After selling his restaurants, Peter rededicated himself to his first love – acting. He enrolled at The Meisner Technique Studio and completed the formal training. Peter was such an exceptional student, Jim asked him to join his faculty to teach the introductory classes. Fortunately, Peter said yes as he’s a gift to all of his students.
