His dream was to find a cure for Lupus and Cancer through the fields of Bio Physics & Bio Chemistry with a Double Major and as an Honor student at Orange Coast College. During his tenure, he was also the President of the Orange County Honors Math Society ~ Mu Alpha Theta. There you would often find him on campus helping other students with Physics or math matters. He had great relations with all his professors he would speak of them highly all the time. He also helped OCC Professor Irini Vallera-Rickerson with her projects and volunteered for her AIDS Project, and continued to do it even after he completed her class. He was also allowed to do the UCI Bridges program with Dr. Marlena De La Cruz, discovering staphylococcus in the creeks behind UCI.

We lost Peter in January of 2013, he passed away unexpectedly from SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest). We were notified in the same time frame that he had also become a Garrison Fellow via the Late Professor Garrison.

Since he did not get a chance to continue his educational dreams, his mother, Sally established a scholarship in his name so that others could & to keep his memory alive. Peter excelled in school and was a role model in the definition of what it meant to embrace learning and life. To his friends and family, Peter was a positive, funny, and intelligent young man who immediately lit up the room whenever he walked in. He always wanted others to be happy and successful and everyone was attracted to his positive energy.
