Peter served as Lead Pastor at several churches in Ohio before joining to serve as Pastor of Outreach at Community UMC in Summer of 2025. Originally from rural Ohio, Peter migrated to New York City to earn degrees from NYU and Columbia University. After spending the better part of two decades moving between NYC, LA, and Sweden, Peter returned home to Ohio in 2021, when he felt a call to ministry.

Peter is deeply involved in community ministry, especially teaching and working with recovering addicts, those returning from carceral environments, the unhoused, and others on the margins of societal power structures. He is a practicing visual artist and serves on the Board of Directors of the Giancarlo Ditrapano Foundation for Literature and the Arts. He is currently at work on a Master's in Divinity at Duke Divinity School.
