Profile
I'm an award winning designer whose career spans 26+ years in technology and an expert and well-known speaker on the industry’s global stage.
I have detailed technical knowledge and in-depth technical design skills as well as strong track record in project management and project delivery. My leadership style is measured, calm, systematic and conscientious. A strategic thinker who Is highly adaptable and can accept any challenge thrown his way - thrives on the management of technically difficult and complicated projects and loves working on iconic projects rich in innovation that push to deliver outstanding user experiences.
I'm a technology expert who loves nothing more than sinking his teeth in and managing challenging projects. While I’ll drive and oversee the big picture I'm a brilliant at picking up the small details as well. You can be assured that no system will be designed in isolation. This is critical since construction and operational efficiencies are achieved through consolidation and integration.
In addition to system design, Pete has also designed a range of unique, patented products.

Testimonials
I've collaborated with Peter on a number of projects and always enjoy working with him. Whilst his designs may involve complex concepts and products, he is able to explain them in simple terms that non-technical people can understand. Likewise, the systems he specifies provide high levels of AV functionality, yet can be operated by anyone. Peter's not one to sit back and rely on years-old designs either, he's always visiting conferences and speaking with AV suppliers looking for new and innovative ways to do things better and achieve more for his clients.
