Peter wears many hats in his role as one of Arcstone’s four managing directors, relying on a unique set of professional skills and experiences to adroitly lead Arcstone’s varied operational, human resources, and marketing efforts. Peter’s path to managing Arcstone began with nine years as an educator of both students and fellow educators, from the Peace Corps (Ghana) to the Denver Public Schools and eventually to the University of Denver. From there, he followed his family’s legal roots, becoming a fourth generation Denver lawyer, practicing at one of Denver’s premier firms, Holland & Hart. In search of an outlet for his creativity and entrepreneurial bent, Peter later hitched his wagon to a nascent adventure sport magazine where he managed the magazine’s promotional efforts and directed the world’s first adrenaline sport film festival. With the not-so-surprising demise of the young magazine, Peter went on to co-found a niche creative agency, Spark Communications, where he and his partner served clients in the financial services, outdoor adventure, real estate development, and consumer products industries.
