Joining forces with like-minded community members in the district to empower the youth of Otorohanga through the Thrive Trust has been a highlight. With a strong influence in connecting with the local community, Peter serves on the Otorohanga District Council as a Community Board Member. This opportunity allows him to use his experience in leadership, governance and management outside of the Church environment.

Peter and Carole have been married for 32 years and have a growing family; with one delightful grandson who has completely stolen their hearts.
