Growing up on the rockey coast of Maine has had a profound impact on Peter and helped to drive his interest in photography. Currently Peter lives in Bar Harbor Maine on Mount Desert Island where he works as a sea kayak guide in the summers, also he works as a volenteer EMT for the City of Belfast and other agencies. Sales from his books will got to help pay for his continuing education as he works to become a paramedic, and support him in the winter when not many people are willing to pay to go kayaking.
