About Peter

I write fiction and poetry for people with a sense of adventure or a twisted sense of humor. Or both. I also Day Job as a CSR executive.

Between my first book in fifth grade (a handwritten, crayon-illustrated autobiographical story called A Trip to Las Vegas) and my 49th birthday, I accomplished many things, including:

• earned a degree in electrical engineering from UC Berkeley
• co-founded two companies
• worked on the first stealth bomber (the B-2), the first PDA (the Casio Z-PDA), and the first smart phone (the Nokia 9000)
• wrote nine novels (five and a half during NaNoWriMo)
• published several technical articles and blog posts
• published several short stories and a few poems, plus the novel above
• coached soccer, led scouts, and guarded a school crosswalk
• worked at San Francisco Writers Conference for nearly a decade
• raised over $400 million for charity in my Day Job
• published a YA post apocalyptic sci-fi novel
• published its sequel
• published the finale
• published a new kids’ book with a golf theme
• and learned to use bullet lists.

I also learned what it means to be the parent of a transgender child.
