About Peter

I was born in Chicago (by a series of decisions made before me and without me), raised in Los Angeles (also by a series of decisions before me and without me), but spent summers in Lake Geneva, WI which is why I came to college in and stayed in WI, and now call the Village of Waukesha home with my wife of 31 years where we try to keep up with our 3 children (I call it siring 3 children) as they grow into their own paths.

I Graduated Damien High School in La Verne CA in 1988. My time there and the people I was surrounded by are forever a part of me. Then, like any kid from LA would do, I graduated from Carroll College (now University) four years later with a BS in Philosophy and double minor in Biology and Chemistry through a lot of unnecessary classes. What was I thinking with that combination? Well I am actually a student of “Natural Philosophy” which is what science was before science got corporate funding where modern expertise and theories depend on sponsorship and by the peer review of the others sponsored. Natural Philosophy teaches you to ask why and find the mechanism behind the purpose of something. Since there are not a lot of paying jobs in Natural Philosophy, I got bored trying to convince my Miniature Schnauzer that we are part of a larger cosmos and I wanted my wife to have nicer things so I eventually went back to school and graduated from Keller University with an MBA in 2004. This then allowed me to be less bored as now people think I actually know things because I have a piece of paper I paid for.

Being able to play both Eisenhower and Patton with my “Trailblazer Culture Index Profile”, I am a pragmatic and objective Sales and Marketing Leader by nature with three prior main careers in distribution, product development and revenue management, and business to business services (although I started my sales career at age 12 selling greeting cards and a paper route subscriptions as my parents would not buy me an archery set).

At age 42, I decided to take my Money Ball philosophies with the Challenger Sale approach on the road helping start ups, second stage companies, turn around businesses, and merging companies put sales structure, processes, and accountability in place for future growth. 

I was a part time Adjunct Instructor at Waukesha County Technical College and Carroll University in B2B marketing, Business Ethics, and Entrepreneurship until the kids on my tax returns needed me more and I am actually an ordained minister and founded my own church named the Free Fellowship of Perpetual Opportunity which has one member for sure and has developed a Unified Theory of Creation that can be found deeper in the website.

After 8 years of consulting and training, I decided to put teaching my practices on hold to now focus on leading the worlds most talented machinists in the Custom Manufacturing realm at Allis Manufacturing Corp. and being the best Husband and Dad my family deserves.

My latest vision is “A will to power through awareness, presence, and intention” which marries both Nietzschean Philosophy with Non-Dual Awareness around my Unified Theory of Creation. My tombstone is going to say “Fulfilled His Duties” (later blog post) and I am not a fan of goals, but rather of targets, and taking action. Having an “end goal” means you plan on having an end and that you plan to quit…..I don’t plan on ending so therefore I need evolving targets, quests, and activities that grow the health and wealth of those around me based on “Acta non verba” and fulfilling my duties rightly. I believe in and practice eclecticism that takes the best of several philosophies, religions, and values, and beliefs and I can argue that the quickest way for someone to become stupid is to join a particular tribe and choose a hill to die on for that tribe.

Thank you for taking the time to read through some of my thoughts and philosophies on life and the fun world of sales, life, the universe, and everything.

Oh, and another thing….I manifested a brown haired girl wearing blue driving a white car in 1987. I caught up to the manifestation (or law of assumption) in 1992 and married her in 1995.
