I used to love playing the old Carmen Sandiego game as a kid. I always thought geography was fascinating and wondered what all those places actually looked like. Today, I have a few friends that joke about playing this with where is Peter. Recently, even I have a tough time remembering where I am and where I’m going. Right this second, I am sitting at Seoul airport about to board a flight to Vietnam. This is a trip I have to say is extra exciting for me. We’re planning on visiting 3-4 countries I have never been to before and I love asian culture. IRead More →

Here is a short video from the Armed Forces Network (AFN) about the shows I did in South Korea in April. I had a great time performing for the DODDS schools in Seoul, Osan, Humphreys and Camp Casey. Hopefully we’ll be able to work out some more trips to other parts of the DODDS network in the future.Read More →

I just finished my second week of touring in New Zealand during my five week tour. The Heart Foundation has outdone itself with the media blitz they’ve sent out and I’ve been having interviews almost everyday I’ve been here. It’s been a busy trip, but quite rewarding as I’ve been teaching around 120 students everyday for 3 hours how to jump rope. We started the tour on the North Island of New Zealand heading into the Bay of Islands region for our first event. We then quickly made our way down the coast to Whangerei and then Auckland. We caught a flight to the SouthRead More →

I just finished 12 shows in 5 days. I had the opportunity to perform for schools in the Korea DOD (department of defense) area and I had a great time entertaining and educating the children of our overseas troops. This was my first trip to Asia and marked the start of my overseas adventures for the year. I am now headed down to New Zealand for 5 weeks before heading back to the states for 3 weeks of shows. I then turn around and fly to Vietnam for a month long trip with stops in Thailand and Cambodia. Getting to experience a culture as richRead More →

I am sitting on a train right now headed to Canada to catch a flight to S. Korea tomorrow. Yesterday at 4:45AM I finalized Frozen. Yes, after many months of work, the DVD is done and has been sent to the printer. I have put it up on the store here if you would like to pre-order a copy. I am very excited to finally have this video available. It has been a long project, but I think that you will agree that it was worth the wait. In case you don’t know anything about it, here are the particulars. It features myself, Billy Jackson,Read More →

For those of you that don’t do a lot of international travel, I want to save you some trouble. Anytime you head to a different country (and even sometimes within your own country) you run into the problem of communication, and I don’t mean language (ie English to Chinese). I mean communication. Depending on where you grow up, different words and phrases can have completely different meanings and (regardless of what your math teacher tells you) sometimes, 1 does not equal 1. I just got into Canada for a 5 day trip and before I came up here I was told to pack warm sinceRead More →

This past weekend I performed in one of only 3 states that I had not jumped in before, Louisiana. In fact, I had never even set foot in the state before Saturday. It seems that everytime I drive through the south I have always gone the northern route and missed the (whatever it’s called) state. I must say, it lived up to the southern tradition. Having grown up in Alaska, I sort of qualify as a Yankee, but to the true Southern person, I have got the impression that I really am more of an oddity than an actual Yankee since Alaska was mostly populatedRead More →

I love flying! And not just because you can get all over the world in very short order, no, my love of flying is due to the people you meet on a plane. I remember before I got married how many people would ask if I would ever try to sit next to a ‘pretty girl’. My personal experience, pretty girls don’t usually have much of a personality (no offense), or at least they don’t have one when they’re sitting next to me. Because of this, the conversational opportunities are next to nil. No, I prefer sitting next to war veterans, they have the coolestRead More →

Many of you are probably wondering what in the world is going on with the new DVD Frozen. Good question. I’ve had a bit of a delay due to the music taking longer than expected. The last few days I decided to put some work into the coloring part of the project as that is totally independent of what’s going on in the music department. One of the most important parts to finalizing any big project is the color grading (or color correcting if you prefer). This is where you set consistent luminance (how bright and dark the picture is) for each scene so thatRead More →
