BIOGRAPHY

Peter's role at James Madison can be described as the Winston Wolf of the college, with a little Geralt of Rivia thrown in for good measure.

He is the creator of Turbulence Forecast, a website that helps fliers anticipate how much turbulence they will encounter on their flight.

He also consults for MSU Recreational Sports and Fitness Services and has designed an innovative technology infrastructure that supports the two major fitness centers on campus with custom designed applications and processes, and wrote a brand new membership system from scratch in 2020 (much to his surprise). Perhaps even more unlikely, his membership system is the first system on campus to utilize Stripe for payment processing.
