Peter is a team player showing that he can support those who he works with and respect for those senior to his position.

Peter has a difficult job to complete in his current position when dealing with banks that have been seized by the FDIC. He is extremely professional and knowledgable in all facets of commercial banking. Additionally, I found him to be very responsive and easy to deal with as we worked together to resolve outstanding loan issues. Peter's years of commercial banking experience help him to understand the "big picture" of business financing needs extremely well. I consider Peter to be an extremely talented individual who serves RSM in a positive manner.
