Peter describes himself as a podcast host, writer, speaker,
blogger, contrarian thinker.
His topic is inspiring people to Overcome and Thrive on
Adversity. He does this by asking questions about, and sharing
ideas for, thriving in a changing world.
Born in London, England, he spent most of his life in Rhodesia
and South Africa. His corporate career included marketing
management in large and small companies, starting and running his
own businesses. He travelled extensively in Southern and Central
Africa, before returning to his roots as a farmer in
Zimbabwe.
In 2002 he became a casualty of the government's illegal and
violent policy of driving commercial farmers off their farms. He
was arrested, interrogated and imprisoned to force him off his
farm. He lost the farm and all his assets.
In 2004, Peter and his partner Sue moved to Canada with 2
suitcases and a horse saddle each, 6 cats and enough cash to buy a
used pickup.
Peter ran ultra marathons, played Polo and Polo-Crosse. In
2010 he survived a heart attack which stopped most of his farming
activities. In 2017 he had bypass surgery which enabled him to
increase his physical activity and walk 250 km on the Portuguese
route of the Camino de Santiago
He is also a past president of Woodstock Toastmasters
