During his career, he served twice at the Canadian Forces School of Military Engineering in Chilliwack BC and served at the Land Forces Headquarters in Quebec and Atlantic and inn2 Combat Engineer Regiment in Petawawa PN. He also served at Canadian Forces Base Suffield AB and had appointments at National Defence Headquarters. Peter deployed for two tours with the Canadian Contingent in Bosnia-Herzegovina during which he received the Chief of Defence Staff Commendation for his quick actions in saving a number of civilians from a burning apartment block in Kljuc, Bosnia.
