Peter's passion for volleyball started at a young age when he began playing at just 10 years old. Growing up in California, he spent countless hours playing sand volleyball at popular beaches like Manhattan, Redondo, and Hermosa.

In 2009, he returned to California and continued playing in open gyms, tournaments, and leagues, further honing his skills and knowledge of the game.

In 2011, Peter was asked to assist the indoor volleyball team at Victor Valley College. He gladly accepted the role and has been an integral part of the coaching staff ever since. Over the years, he has mentored and developed players, contributing to the team's success. In 2014, the Lady Rams were Conference Champions and ranked 17th in the state, and Peter played a significant role in their achievements.

Aside from his coaching duties, Peter is also employed at VVC as an adjunct faculty in the Allied Health Department, where he serves as a respiratory therapist clinical instructor. His dedication to education and helping others extends beyond the volleyball court, making him a well-rounded and valuable member of the VVC community.

Off the court, Peter is a family man. He is married to his wife, Linh, and they have two beautiful daughters, Leilani and Penelope. He also coaches his older daughter's club team, Wildflower, showcasing his commitment to the sport and his desire to pass on his knowledge and love for volleyball to the next generation.
