My name is Peter.
By day, I work in digital health and strive to make healthcare more modern, accessible, and person-centred.
By night, I build random stuff, write about anything that sparks my interest, make music, and coach youth basketball.
Just doing things
When my wife and I were expecting our first child, a good friend and I made a children’s book about choosing love and hope over hate and anger. I also thought it would feel cool to read a book I made to my own kid. Can confirm, it feels cool.
From Root To Sky
LiveLosing a parent shortly after becoming one is uniquely disorienting because you experience life’s most beautiful and devastating emotions at the same time. When I lost my mom to ALS, I wrote this book from her perspective to help my kids understand loss and grief, and give her a chance she was robbed of: to read to her grandkids.
Glory Days
LiveI coach high school basketball and love a good Remember When conversation as much as anyone. Glory Days brings those two things together: nostalgia-infused clothing that gives back to the Toronto high school sports community that gave me so much. And in classic millennial fashion, yes, there’s dropshipping involved.
Welcome to How Town
In progressI grew up playing Gizmos and Gadgets, Thinkin’ Things, and Treasure Mountain. Those games helped shape how I think, solve problems, and create. Now I’m building a game where my (and other) kids can explore, solve puzzles, and discover how the world around them works.
Estate Administration Project
In progressAfter losing both my parents, I learned how exhausting and confusing the administrative side of death can be. Being an executor means figuring all of that out while grieving and keeping up with everything else life throws at you on a daily basis. I want to build something to hopefully make that process easier for others in the future.
