Peter was trained by several Olympians, including Elena Valova, the 1984 Olympic Champion in pairs with her partner Oleg Vasiliev.  Valova and Vasiliev were coached by Tamara Mosvina, one of the most esteemed coaches in pairs skating history.  Peter was also coached by Olympians Karen Courtland-Kelly, U.S. National medalist, and Andrew Naylor, six-time British pairs champion.  He is grateful for the wisdom shared by all his coaches and for the knowledge he continues to gain through nationwide coaching clinics and seminars in order to bring out the most in each of his students.
