Wrestling and knowledge were two of Peter's passions. He was a wrestler at Lincoln High School in Lincoln, Nebraska, and went on to wrestle in college, first at the University of Nebraska and then at Northern Michigan University.
After college, Peter became a history teacher at Marquette Senior High School in Marquette, Michigan. He coached the high school’s wrestling team, leading them to achieve the Upper Peninsula Team Championship in 1969, and again in 1975.
Peter continued to be an avid supporter and follower of wrestling after leaving Marquette. He refereed high school and college matches, including the Midlands Tournament, which he also sponsored for many years.
We are working to create a scholarship for a Marquette, MI wrestler who exemplifies Peter’s cherished values of hard work, independent thinking, and dedication to the community.
