The story so far

Learning through building.

Peter is completing a degree in Information Technology at Erskine College and expects to graduate in 2027. He was the first student to complete Erskine's Honors Institute program.

His experience crosses customer-facing work at Lowe's, collegiate strength and conditioning, debate, mathematics instruction, writing tutoring, admissions tours, alumni representation, logistics, data analysis, direct sales, and small-business ownership.

His goal is not to pretend to be a master of everything. It is to become the person who can understand a problem from several angles, connect the right tools, communicate clearly, and keep learning until the system works.

The working style is simple: work hard, keep faith central, stay grounded, treat people with respect, and tell the truth about what has and has not been proven.
