Peter is a capitalist and anarchist. He believes that transactions which you can be proud of result from carefully conceived goals and plans followed by purposeful actions and scrupulous documentation.
Upon graduating from high school in 1965, Peter went right into the real estate business. His motivation was his desire to be self-employed.
Pete says “Almost everyone who knew me believed that I was unemployable. They were right. I still am!”
Peter was excited to be free to build his business and his future. He attended seminars and read at every opportunity. He sought out and learned from many mentors, He benefited from the example and the counsel of his father who encouraged and supported him from the beginning.
Pete finished college with a clientele and an investment portfolio. By 1975 his investments eliminated his need for fees from clients to fund his lifestyle.
Peter continues to teach and to attend real estate and investment seminars and meetings regularly. He is respected for his clear and patient explanations of investment concepts and transactions.
He has been building, structuring, manipulating and managing investment structures and portfolios for more than 50 years.
