Show Notes

• In his early childhood, Peter wanted to drive a locomotive, but as he matured into a young man, Peter shifted his aspirations to be a professional soccer player for the Swedish National Team. However, like in most European nations, before he made the big stage as a professional soccer player, he did a tour of duty in the Swedish Army for a year.
• After his Army stint, Peter worked at Warner Brothers and Disney in Stockholm for a few years. Upon learning there was little to no room for career advancement there, he came to the USA to study Marketing at the University of Tampa, where shortly after graduation he began a career at Kohler that lasted 8 years.
• Plumbing resonated with him because it’s like Fashion in that trends matter + the people in the industry are awesome. As for Strasser, he believes “people do business with them because they like us, and because the Strasser team takes care of everything with a smile. Forty years and our following is still very faithful.”
• He believes the bathroom is the most important room in a home because it is where people start and end their day. As for the vanity itself, it is the centerpiece of the bathroom - because it’s the biggest and most appealing fixture.
• He attends LPG, Forte, AD and the DPHA every year and is big on bonding with these groups because it creates community through commonalities. He also believes there is NEVER the “right time” to do something to grow in life - it’s a never ending cycle :)
• He thinks incorporating technology-driven advancements will remain a huge trend. It was also exciting to learn that Peter met his wife when she was a showroom sales associate at one of the accounts he works with in the Pacific Northwest.
