He was a carpenter by trade and worked many places in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. One of his best loved jobs was carpentry with the maintenance crew at Prince Albert National Park. He always loved to build and tinker at making things (making something out of nothing). Peter moved to Red Deer, Alberta in 1992 and worked there until his retirement.
