Peter is a veteran of the Boston music & comedy scenes. He was raised on an organic farm in Massachusetts long before the current, dubious trend.
In 2020, Peter founded Pretty Pink House Productions with his wife, Kelleia Sheerin. He is co-creator, writer & composer of the absurdly sexy series, Mother F*cker! Peter's first play Waiting for Pinkdot was produced at The Tamarind Theater in L.A. He is also the composer for the award winning feminist horror flick, The Feminine Mystaque.
Peter co-wrote & performed the song "I'll Get By" with writer/director/star Ken Roht in the indie-darling "Perfect Cowboy", an Official Selection at Outfest 2014. Peter is a former repertory member of The Yard Theater in L.A. where he appeared in "The Book of Liz" by Amy and David Sedaris and "Comic Potential" by Alan Ayckbourn.
As a musician, Peter is a teaching artist at multiple CA correctional facilities with the non-profit Jail Guitar Doors. JGD uses the craft of songwriting to help inmates develop non-violent means of expression and to build self-esteem. He continues to play in the L.A. band, Slamdinistas and is an on-call sideman for Adam Sandler's Jam Band.
An avid soccer player, Peter stays in shape by playing three times a week in addition to tennis and hiking with his hot wife. He's had the same waistline since the 1970's.
