He spent time at the airport, watching airplanes take off and land, and was always asking questions about what made them fly and how all the parts and pieces worked. After graduating from high school Peter attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University where he majored in Aviation Maintenance Science and received his FAA certification as an A&P mechanic.
After graduating from Embry-Riddle, he worked in General Aviation at an airport in Saint Petersburg, Florida, before joining the U.S. Navy in 1969. In the Navy he worked as an Aviation Machinist Mate Jet (ADJ), maintaining the powerplants on a squadron of airplanes known as the E-2 Hawkeye. After the Navy Peter went back to school and completed his graduate degree in education at the University of Central Florida. In 1976 he had an opportunity to become a member of the faculty at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where he taught for 45 years before retiring as a Professor Emeritus in 2020.
Peter is the author of 3 books on Aircraft Gas Turbine Powerplants, the author of a book on Aircraft Systems for Professional Pilots, has written chapters for many aviation technical books, has published numerous magazine articles on aviation technical subjects, and wrote the answers and explanations study guide for the FAA written exams.
