Peter’s goal in education is to inspire students’ interest in building trades through dynamic, interactive, and thoughtful instruction. The conduit for this is through the four different classes he teaches: Carpentry, Cabinetmaking, Intro to woodworking, and Drafting.
Originally from northern New York, Peter has been living in the four corners area for 18 years. Interests include rafting, hanging out with his red heeler Rango, and telling dad jokes to his students.
