                           Well, let’s see??.when you think rope skipping, you’ll
                           probably recall some annoying little rhyme that kids used
                           when they were on the playground, or maybe you’ve got a
                           broader knowledge and did it yourself way back when. As
                           much as one would hate to spoil those fond recollections,
things have changed. Gone are the days of simply counting the number of times that you
can jump without missing during recess. Now you’ve got the Rope Masters.

Peter began jumping rope in 1987 as part of a new program offered at his elementary
school in Juneau, Alaska. After 2 hard years of practice, Peter won his first world
championship in 3rd grade. The following 8 years offered
numerous opportunities to travel, teach, perform and compete in
numerous places throughout the world. During this time he also
garnered an additional 6 world championships, as well as
solidifying an already strong passion and enjoyment for rope
skipping.

After graduating high school, Peter packed up everything he had
and moved to Chicago to continue jumping. Six months later, after
gaining some valuable insight from an established professional,
Peter was once again on the road, this time to Florida. Upon
arriving in the sunshine state, many opportunities were available to perform and teach
throughout the state. Rope Masters was officially born.

Going from a competitive and performance team to performing solo was a big change for
Peter. The following 4 years were a bit grueling and unnerving as many things had to be
changed, adjusted and tweaked to go from being just a face in the crowd to being ‘it’.
Dedication, drive and a true passion for what he was doing drove Peter to develop into
the performer/speaker that he needed to be.

                                           June 2002 caught Peter moving again as he
                                           headed from his training grounds in Florida to
                                           a new base of operations in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
                                           Over the last few years, the Rope Masters
                                           program has strengthened from a heartfelt
                                           attempt at entertainment into one of the best
                                           programs currently available.
Peter has performed in many countries, including: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France,
Germany, Mexico and Sweden. He has also performed in almost every state in the U.S.
as well as special performances at such venues as: Tivoli Gardens in Denmark, Sea
World, Disney Land, Disney World and a Seattle Supersonics vs. Boston Celtics
halftime show.
