I highly recommend Peter as a manager, an instructor, a mentor, and a friend. He is one of the main reasons that Delter ran so well and that teachers not only finished their contracts, but renewed again and again. You would be hard pressed to find another individual with his management acumen, much more his outstanding character.

My Top Three Priorities:
Preservation and Protection of our Natural Resources & Municipal Infrastructure
Maintenance of our waterways, roads, buildings, parks, bridges, and more is obviously important, but so is finding ways to improve them and make them resistant to climate change and a growing population.
An Accessible and Attainable Housing Stock
Housing is a basic human right. We need to take active steps now to safeguard it for all current and future residents.
Creating a More Diverse Commercial Sector
We need to recognize & promote the contributions of all local business, and actively encourage new sustainable economic growth.
Praise and Testimonials
Peter has exceptional skills in the area of communication, problem solving, managing people, and creative thinking. His positive attitude, common sense, strong interpersonal skills, and solid knowledge of municipal government made him an invaluable member of our team.

Peter has a vast amount of knowledge in many areas. He was so helpful in his capacity as Senior Advisor at MMAH.
Peter will succeed in any goal he sets.
