Peter came to the United States in 1954 to work for his sponsor as a farmhand in Jeffersonville, NY. He subsequently graduated from Jeffersonville High School in 1955 and Cornell University with a degree in Architecture (Class of 1959). He served as a surveyor in the artillery of the U.S. Army for two years before joining the Ithaca architectural firm of Tallman and Tallman Architects in 1962, which eventually became Thomas Associates, where he became a partner. Peter served on the Dryden Zoning Board of Appeals, Tompkins County Chapter of the Red Cross, Ithaca Sunrise Rotary Club, and Rotary District 7170.
