Peter joined WEST in September 2007 and has been working with the other coaches to continue with, as well as escalate the team's tradition of excellence in swimming. Peter utilizes his experience of almost 40 years in the sport of swimming as well as a deep passion for the sport in leading his swimmers to what ever level they care to go.

Presently, Peter is a member of the American Swim Coaches Association and is on the Technical Planning Committee of Pacific Northwest Swimming. He was a coach for the 2008 PNS Western Zones Champion team, 2009 winter and summer PNS All-Star Teams and 2009 USA Swimming Zone Select Camp.

During his coaching career, Coach Peter has developed swimmers ranging from novice to Senior Sectional and Junior National qualifiers. He has seen his highest level swimmers become the coveted Scholastic All-American as well as Age Group Sectional Champion. Peter believes that it is vital to instill a sense of self motivation, pride, perseverance and leadership as well as increasing focus and work ethic in all his swimmers. He is very technique/skill focused and utilizes creative methods of delivery to get swimmers looking their best while swimming faster. Swimmers should have fun in their swimming at whatever level they are at. That "fun" takes on a progressively new meaning as a swimmer progresses through the program from novice to elite.

Previously, Coach Peter was at Dynamo in Atlanta, GA and Swift Swimming in Clermont (near Orlando), Florida. While in Georgia, Peter was a coach for the 2007 Georgia Zone Team. He played a significant part in growing his Florida team of 30 swimmers to over 100 within a year at which time they placed 2nd at their Area Championships meet.
