Peter’s life is full and he is grateful for the many aspects that fill it, even as each one overflows. There’s his family, his garden, the Vancouver Island beach rental, visiting friends—including many reSource friends—and his half-time role as reSource President. Peter’s passion for his work at reSource has only grown since he took on leadership. Prior to this he worked for years in the flower trade and served reSource in Board and Tresasurer capacities. While he has always loved his work in life, being part of the reSource team is a special blessing. It is a joy for him to participate in the strategic and long-term investment of Christian leaders in the majority world and he loves connecting with reSource’s like-minded donors, staff, and board. Peter has a passion for plants and gardening, he loves fishing and, with his wife Diana enjoys hosting guests in their home or beach house by the ocean. Peter and Diana have five children and twelve grandchildren. They worship at Living Hope Church in Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. To God be the glory!
