Background
Peter began riding on a PW50 when he was 5 and started racing it shortly thereafter. He moved on to pocketbikes from a solid motocross background off a KTM Pro Senior 50. At age 7 he moved to pocketbikes for the next 2 years finishing with an undefeated season. Peter then advanced to racing 3 years of minis with a variety of bikes including: NSR50, KTM65 roadracer, Metrakit 50 and 80 and Honda RS150R. At 11, Peter began his 125GP career, but was sidelined for most of that year from crash injuries. He plans to return to racing in 2010.
Off track, Peter trains by running and riding motocross in the backyard. He enjoys ripsticking, cycling and video games.

2008 was a busy year as Peter transitioned to a full-size GP chassis bike.
