Peter is Amanda’s partner and husband. He loves championing her career and working together for the good of their family. She is an early modern scholar whose work focuses on prosopopoeia, ethics, poetics, and performance. They have two impetuous kids, Wesley and Kathryn.

Peter grew up in the house his dad grew up in, on campus at the school his grandparents helped found, surrounded by cousins, aunts, and uncles, in Pacifica, California.

Grateful for a good inheritance, he’s shaped by his grandmother’s work and faith, his grammy’s prayers, his grandpa’s patience, his grandad’s learned simplicity, his father’s humility and joy, and his mother’s music and stories.

Peter is Director of Communications and Digital Strategies for Cru City, a division of Cru’s US Ministries. Cru City uniquely restores every community with the good news of Jesus. We engage the curious and equip the follower so that people find their place in God’s story.

Peter is also President of the Board at the Christian Adulthood Initiative, a nonprofit that invites youth into Christian adulthood, spun off from Wheatstone Ministries in 2021.

He started at Wheatstone over a decade ago, and held almost every position, from alumni coordinator to Director of Programs. Before long, he became Wheatstone’s Executive Director during a financial crisis. In response, he:

• Built a team for renewal

• Reset the mission, vision, and plan

• Clarified audience

• Rallied the existing community

• Diversified and increased sources of income

• And created a new suite of services: training events for youth ministries, and youth ministry curriculum

Once the ministry was a stable, growing, mission-driven organization serving churches and families with excellence, he formed a new nonprofit for it with the encouragement and support of the Wheatstone Board as they prepared for new endeavors.

Eventually, he intends to seek ordination, and to keep serving churches and communities.

Peter maintains creative projects constantly as a personal discipline and community service. He paints, writes, acts, and designs.

He’s devoted to dignifying, thoughtful art, and niggled by mere spectacle, manipulative sentimentality, propaganda, or creative thoughtlessness.

He supports artists he respects through creative consulting, design services, personal encouragement, and community promotion.

An art lover since he was a toddler, he advocates winsomely for wise habits of cultural consumption for personal growth and joy.
