Peter started his working career by taking a "year off" between high school and university to play keyboards with the Ottawa rock band "US". The band released original recordings, graced the airwaves, and toured coast-to-coast. After four years as a member of the band, and much to his parents' relief, he continued his academic pursuits. Peter went on to complete a Combined Honours Bachelor of Arts degree (Political Science and Geography) from Carleton University as well as Master of Urban and Regional Planning and Master of Business Administration degrees from Queen's University.

Peter was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1997 and was a patient of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre (ORCC). Several surgeries and rounds of chemotherapy later, and thanks to the tremendous efforts of the ORCC doctors and staff, he has been issued a clean bill of health.
