Peter grew up on a fourth generation family farm in Kulm, ND. He's lived in three different countries (two of them islands!). In his life he's sold computers (his first business), ran a seed dealership, enterprise mobile solutions, cell phones, and appliances. No matter what the product, Peter has found that basic sales principles remain the same. Take care of people and demonstrate that you care.
Peter is the co-founder of "Sales Your Way", tailored coaching strategies for the non-sales person. He's helped startup founders, freelance artists, and non-profit leaders conquer their fear of sales and build loyalty with customers. He's also the co-founder of Genesis Feed Technologies, a mobile platform for the animal feed industry.
When he's not in front of his computer he likes to spend time with his wife and three girls. In the remaining hour of the month he will sometimes read a book or workout.
