Work History:
Peter joined the WTS team in the summer of 2000. Prior to that he worked as the network administrator of a small engineering sales firm with seven offices in Canada and the United States. Their WAN was built on a heterogeneous mix of Unix and Microsoft Windows using secured connections over the internet.  He worked with consultants to implement and maintain the corporate WAN as well coordinating programming for a central sales and accounting software package. During his time with this employer, Peter learned a lot about end customer support and how to use technology to support the purpose of the business. He is excited to be working with such a large group of skilled IT professionals.

In the real world, Peter enjoys camping, canoe tripping, recreational volleyball and downhill skiing (out west). He has traveled through bits of Europe, India, and Sri Lanka as well as to the west and east coasts of Canada. He can hold his own in amateur Half-Life, Team Fortress Classic, and Unreal Tournament contests - usually.
