Born and raised in Lynchburg, VA, Peter moved to Charlottesville in 2002 to attend the University of Virginia. He currently resides in Albemarle County with his wife, Lindsey, and his twin son and daughter, Luke and Anna. 

Peter’s desire is to be an effective servant of the Lord and help spread the joy of salvation that is available through Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross. 

As Peter grew in spiritual maturity, he felt a calling to be of further service to the Lord and in 2022 became an elder of Laurel Hill Baptist Church. He strongly believes that any ministry efforts of the church must be, first and foremost, firmly rooted and grounded in God’s Word, for it is Scripture that is divinely inspired (2 Timothy 3:16), active (Hebrews 4:12), and effective (Isaiah 55:11). One of Peter’s goals as an elder is to support Laurel Hill’s pastoral emphasis on Biblical expository preaching and teaching.
