Peter's electrical training started in Tennessee while in the military and became his lifelong career. He started his business in his garage later purchasing RK Electronics which became PK Electronics. He was generous with his time and willing to give of his talents as a handyman whether for his family, church or community. Peter relaxed by collecting coins, stamps and antiques and his love of nature by working in his vegetable and flower garden.
