Colleagues describe him as "It was a pleasure working with a person who pushes your creativity to new limits, encourages to use new tools, learn "out of the box" ways to solve issues. I have known Pete since 2002. When i joined workforce after graduation, he was my mentor, and then was my manager. His thought was, make sure you can calculate your results by hand using the formulae and equations that you learned in college, before presenting the results. This tip has saved me multiple time and still do by figuring out the differences between the "rainbow colored pretty pictures" to useful contour plots for the results. He, used tools such as Matlab by writing equations for drivetrain and NVH calculations, macros in excel for processing data from engine calibrations, and introduce new concepts for understanding and interpreting simulation results . Another most important tip he left me with, was a 8 second rule. If you can learn this, you can stay out of trouble most of the time." and "It was a privilege working with Pete on a special development project at BRP. His professionalism, attention to detail, and expert product knowledge made him an exceptional team leader, as well as, an outstanding resource through which one could run ideas and suggestions. Pete is quick on his feet and has the experience to make difficult decisions with a logical and analytical thought process. I have high regards for Pete and would very much enjoy working with him on a future project if given the opportunity."
