Growing up in the San Fernando Valley of California, Peter always wanted to be a fourth grade teacher. Upon moving to Portland, Oregon to start college, Peter saw firsthand that not every child made it to fourth grade. It was then that he made his lifelong commitment to provide opportunities for children, youth and young adults to thrive. Peter spent his college years serving youth in need, while working on a social work degree focused on youth and child development. His passion for youth in need has led him to a career helping young people build supportive communities that transform their own lives through opportunity and success.

Peter comes to The Link after more than 25 years of experience serving youth and children in the non-profit sector. Peter spent the beginning of his career working in Portland, at Janus Youth Programs. During his tenure at Janus he ran a variety of community based residential group homes for children and youth across the continuum of mental health, homeless, and juvenile justice needs. After 15 years at Janus, Peter relocated and taught at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Youth Work Learning Center helping expand the profession of youth services through education and professional development. In 2007, Peter returned to his roots of direct service by moving to Minnesota to become the Director of Children's Services at Catholic Charities of St. Paul and Minneapolis before becoming the Executive Director of The Link in January of 2010.
