Peter began his career in Air Force intelligence, tracking global naval threats. He later held roles in defence recruiting, government operations, and private-sector training. He helped scale startup operations before joining Homeland Security. After relocating to South Korea, Peter built maritime education programmes and led training for government leaders focused on coastal business strategy. Through his consultancy, he developed tools for U.S. companies in supply chain and nearshore logistics. Today, Peter leads The Floating Economy and is building The Floating Institute, a nonprofit focused on business and infrastructure at the water's edge. At The Floating Institute (TFI), they connect governments and private capital to partners who design and build floating logistics hubs, modular waterfronts, offshore business districts, floating neighbourhoods, defence applications, and more. The Floating Economy spans logistics, defence, infrastructure, mobility, real estate, energy, aquaculture, industry, tourism, water services, and offshore commerce, creating entirely new markets beyond the limits of land. It gives governments the tools to expand offshore, investors access to frontier industries, and entrepreneurs the platform to launch new businesses before the world catches up. The Floating Economy is a race, and the leaders are already pulling ahead.
