Peter is a software development executive and community volunteer. He has worked in information technology for more than 25 years at IBM, Siemens, and Broadcom as well as startups EnrollMyGroup and Timely Benefits.

Peter served 3-Terms on the Greenwich Board of Education including Board Chairman, Union Negotiations Committee Chairman, and Education Strategy Chairman.

He holds a Bachelor in Political Science (BA PoliSci) from the University of Connecticut and a Master in Finance and International Business (MBA) from New York Univerity, Stern School of Business.
  • We need to protect everything good about Greenwich and Connecticut
  • I'll work to support K-12 schools, make CT more affordable, tackle rising crime, and keep housing under local control.
  • We can Restore Connecticut. Let's get started.
I'm exceptionally passionate about improving K-12 education for all Connecticut children. We have some of the best-funded schools but students are not reaching their academic potential. This is the fault of Hartford legislators and administrators. We can do better and after 12 years on a local school board, I know many ways that the State of Connecticut can better support local schools, families and their kids.
Many people but in public life, I particularly admire Ronald Reagan. He was an amazing charismatic leader who could bring people together, always respected those with whom he disagreed, and had a wicked sense of humor.
I remember being awakened by my parents to watch Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. We gathered around a black and white TV in our Living Room. I was 5 years old at the time and for some reason remember wearing short-sleeved and shorts pyjamas and holding onto my Saturn 5 rocket toy.
Connecticut is economically and demographically stagnant. Other states are surging ahead making them more attractive to young people, families and businesses. Meanwhile, Connecticut is increasingly becoming a one-party state with intolerance for alternate viewpoints. These developments are opposite of the trends that have made Connecticut a place of prosperity and liberty. Restoring Connecticut is the greatest challenge over the next 10 years.
Politics today have become about power and unilaterally advancing one agenda over another. This is slowly degrading American democracy and government. Policy is strongest when it takes into account the wants, needs, and desires of broad coalitions of stakeholders. Compromise while being true to principles is necessary for better governance.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
