Peter's Story
Life
I joined IBM as a Field Engineer in 1966 when the company was experiencing phenomenal growth with the System 360. I spent the next 27 years in various technical and management positions in hardware and software, sales, and headquarters. I left the IBM Consulting Group in 1993 to form my own company; for the next 12 years I worked with companies to improve business operations and productivity. I've gone back to corporate life as Business Reengineering Leader for Genworth Financial (expatriot GE insurance company) in the Investments group.

My undergraduate degree is from Adelphi University (1978) and I have an MBA from Sacred Heart University (1988). I'm currently working on my doctorate in computer science at Pace University (2009?). I really took advantage of tuition refund benefits, but it cost me countless nights and weekends (well worth the investment)!
I've been married to Torina since 1970, have 2 children and 5 adorable grandchildren. My son is a firefighter and my daughter teaches second grade they live and work in our town, life's good.
