Peter's Story
After graduating from UConn in 1973, armed with my Masters in Computer Science (before personal computers were invented), BA in Math and BFA in Theatre, I moved to Los Angeles.

Breakdown Services reads scripts from casting directors of all types of productions and provides casting information ("Breakdowns") to agents, managers and actors.

m Breakdown Services in 2009, went back to school to get my credential to teach Math in secondary schools, moved to Berkeley (both of my children live in the Bay Area), and am currently teaching at Making Waves Academy (a charter school in Richmond).
In 1980, I met the love of my life, Barbara Langer, and her 2 children, Michael, who was 8 and Nikki, 5. Now, Nikki is married to Josh Levine and their son, Lukas, was born January 15, 2007, and twin daughters, Sadie & Mia, were born February 16, 2010. I am enjoying being a grandfather, and I am still thrilled to be able to play basketball and outrun youngsters half my age.
