“Peter is one of the most genuine persons I know. He is the definition of a team player and an outstanding leader. As a leader he provides the team stability, organization, and great mentoring. He knows how to navigate throw the political rough edges of a company as well as the project. He is a solid rock when the storm hits, and people look up to him for guidance. He provides to a project a complete solution as he is technical as well as a 3d artist. He is a great communicator and knows where in the chain of commands things should be taken care of. I have great respect for him and I highly recommend him as a solid candidate for any leadership position.” August 16, 2008
