Peter studied political science at York University in the north of England. He then travelled extensively before moving to Berlin, where he has worked as a teacher, translator and interpreter.

He was among the first people to climb up onto the Berlin Wall on the famous night of November 9th, 1989. Which seemed appropriate after spending years exploring all the possibilities resulting from Berlin's location at the heart of Europe, on the fault line between east and west. This included many visits to the countries of eastern and central Europe.

Berlin remains as exciting as ever and Germany is playing an increasingly significant role on the world stage. Peter is committed to helping the world have a window on Germany - and DW-TV is the best place to do that.

Peter's favourite websites are imdb.com, the Internet Movie Database, and planet-rugby.com, which speaks for itself.
