He entered the U.S. Navy in 1962 and was transferred to N.A.S. Jacksonville in 1970.  Pete opened his own dental practice after leaving active duty at the rank of Lieutenant. The practice opened on October 1, 1973, on Kingsley Avenue in Orange Park. He later built an office complex at the entrance of Montclair 1406 Kingsley Ave., called the Cedarwood Professional Building with partners, Dr. John Peden, and Dr. Larry Smith where each of them had a practice.

Pete retired from Dentistry in 2006 and moved to Live Oak, FL to raise cattle and horses. He was a long-time hunter, pilot, scuba diver, and sailor. He was extremely talented in many things like playing the 12-string guitar, and woodworking, which means he could build or make anything. He was never afraid of working hard and playing even harder. Whether teaching flying lessons on Saturday morning or working on the farm building fences and inoculating the cattle, he never stopped. Pete was a fierce friend and would do anything for them. He will be missed by family and friends.
