Peter's Story
Life
At UW, I started doing gymnastics, and I completd a BS in engineering. Afterwards, I married, and began working in the computer software industry. We bought a house, and after I completed my committment to the Army National Guard, we moved to Saarbrücken, Germany where I worked a little more than a year. We returned to WA in 2002, and I began working at Microsoft. In 2005 we had a son, and the next year we moved to Redmond.

We participated in dry-fire missions and I even had to call Medi-Vac for one of my drivers when he broke his jaw during a training run. The Army promoted me to Captain in an attempt to keep me from leaving. I am proud to have served, but am glad to be done with it.
