Peter worked in New York City for Howard Schwartz Recording and VH1 Classic returning to Millerton after 9/11. He worked in carpentry and fine furniture making, which was his passion.

Starting as a helper, he elevated his skills and knowledge to become a Journeyman Electrician. Returning to New York to be closer to his family and friends, he was employed by the Comalli Group, Albany, NY.

Peter had a passion for fine furniture making and could magically turn scrap lumber into works of art. He also enjoyed playing guitar, cooking, hiking and kayaking. A lifelong student of the major religions of the world, he read and analyzed the holy doctrines of each, and always enjoyed a lively discussion of their finer points.

He possessed a kind and generous spirit and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
