Peter was born in New York in 1963 but was raised in Grand Ledge, Michigan. In 1989, he graduated from Michigan State. He spent the next few years as a professional cameraman in Michigan. Ultimately Peter ended up in Los Angeles to pursue his life long dream of becoming an actor. Most know Peter as a talented voice over actor. However, what you may not know about him is that he was nominated for the Garland Award for his work in Glengarry, Glen Ross and is a award winning still photographer. Additionally, he has acted in several on camera commercials for such companies as Allstate, Toyota, Sears and Papa John’s. Peter has also become an accredited Foley artist and recently worked on one of the late Michael Clarke Duncan's films.

After 2009, he seemingly retired from anime dubbing, with his last documented voice acting roles being a reprise of Dominic in the Eureka Seven films (Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers; and the second movie of the Hi-Evolution Trilogy) as well as additional voices for the game Samurai Warriors 3. Adding to his scarcity in recent years would be the fact that he was diagnosed with small-cell carcinoma, and has spent time fighting the disease.
