A graduate of UCLA with an MBA in Entrepreneurial Studies And Finance, and an undergraduate degree in Economics, Peter developed the TIIC Method of buying and selling small and mid-market businesses--a proven, systematic strategy used by thousands of business owners and sellers, business brokers and agents, and by business buyers, to successfully complete transactions involving companies in the small and mid-market sectors.

Peter has been quoted or interviewed by a number of national business publications including the Wall Street Journal, Forbes Small Business and Entrepreneur Magazine, as well as many regional business periodicals and niche trade publications. He is often quoted monthly by small business writers and columnists on trends, issues, and specific topics relating to selling and buying small businesses.
