Pete completed his undergraduate education at Duke University in political science after receiving an athletic scholarship. 

He served for two years full-time with Americorps after graduating from Duke University and before deciding to further explore the field of medicine as a route to continue community service as a career.  

During his medical school education, Pete became a member of the National Health Services Corps and was active in creating his own community service program in Mexico, Maine.  Pete further enriched his medical school education through the completion of a student-fellowship in Pathology, during which he functioned as a resident physician in pathology for one year.  During his residency at UMHC Pete proved a prolific and effective leader. Pete was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) early in his residency.  After serving in the Housestaff Organization, he became its President in his last year which involved sitting on many committees and meeting representing residents’ views on important issues such as the electronic medical record and resident work hours.  Pete became the second Chief Resident for our program in 2005 and pioneered the Core Curriculum, strengthened our other conferences, and worked on defining a Med/Peds image.  After graduation, Pete is leaving to fulfill his National Health Service Corps obligations in the area around Orlando, FL in primary care.
