Originally from Montreal Canada, Peter began his coaching career in 1987 working with Club Med resorts in Tunisia, Spain, France and Bali.

In his final year working for Club Med Peter was made Director of Golf in Bali gaining experience in golf management through the training of golf instructors, organising lesson schedules, tournaments, golf demonstrations, and golf course modification at the resort.

In 1989 Peter relocated to Brisbane serving for thirteen years at Aspley Pin High Golf Club. There he conducted beginner to advanced clinics, junior classes, private coaching and pioneered the use of computer swing analysis in Brisbane.

In April 2002 Peter was appointed Head Golf Professional at Links Hope Island, rated Australia's No.1 Resort Golf Club. As of 2009 the Links Golf Academy has grown to be one of the largest coaching centres on the Gold Coast with junior golf at it's core, with 75 children currently enrolled. Developing junior golfers to achieve their potential in golf is Peter's strength.

Peter has a "AAA" ranking by the Australian PGA. Also in January 2000 Peter attained Level VI Accreditation in the category of Golf Coaching (professional) by the PGA Professional Development Program, in association with The Australian Coaching Council.

Technology has played a key role at the academy with Peter developing an online coaching website. Students can go online (Swing Mate) to view, compare and receive swing written evaluations and video tips. "The use of digital video for super clear frame by frame pictures and the ability to compare swings has made it much easier to understand the golf swing".
