WCP publishes "heartistic education curricula" and other literary works.

Peter is also a Perl and MySQL web database programmer.

He is the author of the book, Becoming a Parent of True Love, published by the World Community Press. He is currently working on a new seminar for married couples, entitled Building a Marriage of True Love. He is also the author of the teenager curriculum on marriage preparation, abstinence and character education, called, The True Love Thing to Do. Peter and his wife, Kim, both write columns on family issues which are published on their web site.

Peter has been very active in the non-profit educational and political arenas throughout his career. Beginning in 1979, he has given lectures and seminars on family and social issues, political issues, and world affairs. From 1984 until 1986, he was a City, and then State Director of CAUSA, an organization which produced national and local seminars that educated elected officials about the dangers of Marxism-Leninism and offered a comprehensive counter-proposal.

He served as the VA Executive Director of the American Freedom Coalition from 1987 until 1998, conducting many campaigns on issues as diverse as the support of the troops during Desert Storm and the passing into law of "Parent's Day" as a national holiday.

In 1992, Peter managed a statewide program in Virginia, sponsored by the national American Freedom Coalition, which presented "Diamond Awards" to outstanding citizens and volunteers in recognition of their unique contributions to the community. Working with volunteers from around the state, over 40 events were held, with the cooperation of numerous mayors, city officials and ministers.

Peter was active with the Washington Times Foundation, and its program of National Service awards. He was the Virginia State Sales Rep for the Washington Times National Weekly Edition, a newspaper that has garnered kudos from numerous national-level leaders.

Until 2006, he was the Mid-Atlantic Regional Director for the American Family Coalition and the Chairman of the American Family Coalition of Virginia. He was a regular speaker at the American Leadership Conferences in Virginia, sponsored by the American Family Coalition and the Washington Times Foundation.

In 1994 he created, produced and edited The Richmond Republican, a tabloid newspaper distributed by the Richmond Republican Committee in Virginia. Peter was a member of the Richmond Republican Executive Committee for a number of years, until he and his family moved to Virginia Beach in 1995. Although short-lived, due to financial restrictions, the newspaper received wide-spread praise for its content and design. Peter also designed and hosted the original web site for the Republican Party of Virginia Beach until his family moved to Indian Neck, Virginia. In 2007, he and his family moved back to his home state of Maine.

While in Richmond, Peter helped launch Citizens for Safe Streets (as its Executive Director), a Richmond-based political action committee dedicated to reducing violent crime in Richmond by 50%. The PAC had a significant impact on the Richmond City Council, which adopted a number of the organization's proposals in 1994.

On the international scale, Peter traveled to Guyana, South America in 1990 and organized and produced an ecumenical ministers conference with the theme "Guyana and the World of True Peace." He wrote and placed a full-page proclamation in Guyana's national newspaper, focused on the same theme, calling for the Guyanese people to adopt a world-level vision of God-centered service as the nation's primary perspective for the 21st century. Guyana at the time was moving away from a debilitating 30 year experiment with Marxism that had reduced the country to the status of the poorest country in the Caribbean, after Haiti.

Peter was born in Miami, and raised in Portland, Maine. He is the grandson of Baroness Helen Dean Falkenberg Brown, of the Falkenbergs of Trystorp, Sweden.

He and his wife, Kimmy Sophia (a fellow New Englander), were betrothed in 1979 and married in 1982. They are the proud parents of four lovely children: Tymon, Thea Grace, Ranin and Tadin; and two dogs and one cat.

(The "lovely" children insisted we mention the dogs and cat :-).
