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
It is easy to get caught up in all the negativity happening around the world, but this is a book I made with a good friend of mine about choosing love and hope over hate and anger. The idea to make it came when my wife and I were expecting our first child. I also thought it would be 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 unlock the most beautiful and heartbreaking of emotions at the same time. When I lost my mom to ALS, I wrote this book from her perspective to help explain loss and grief to my kids, while, in its own way, giving her a chance she was robbed of: to read to her grandkids.
Glory Days
LiveAs someone who coaches youth basketball and loves a good Remember When conversation as much as anyone, I want to play my small part in giving back to the Toronto high school sports community that gave me so much. And in classic millennial fashion, I figured the best way to do this would be through a clothing brand and dropshipping.
Welcome to How Town
In progressGizmos and Gadgets, Thinkin' Things, and Treasure Mountain were games that played a meaningful role in fostering my focus, creativity, and engineering mindset from a young age. Now, I am creating a (hopefully) fun, curiosity-driven game for my (and other) kids to better understand how the world around them works.
Estate Administration Project
In progressAfter losing both my parents, I got exposed to the administrative side of death. For anyone that has been an executor, it can be exhausting, frustrating, confusing, and a million other things, all while you are figuring out how to handle the loss of a loved one and balance the rest of life's responsibilities. I want to build something to hopefully make that process easier for others in the future.
