With a heart for service and a life shaped by faith, leadership, and resilience, Chaplain Pete offers deeply rooted care to individuals, families, and organizations. He was licensed and ordained by the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference and served as Pastor of Covenant Life Church from 2014 to 2020, where he helped guide and support his community through seasons of growth, grief, and transformation.
His commitment to humanitarian work led him to Haiti, where his outreach efforts helped establish a school that continues to serve children in need. He also served as a chaplain at Bridgeport Hospital, where his compassionate presence earned him the prestigious Silver Award for exemplary service. He is proud serviceman, having served in the Army National Guard, bringing discipline, empathy, and a sense of duty to every role he holds.
Pete is certified in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention through Cornell University's Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research and holds a Certificate of Completion in Critical Incident Stress Management Team Training. These qualifications support his ability to guide others through moments of emotional, psychological, or spiritual crisis with steadiness and insight.
In every setting—whether one-on-one, in the workplace, or during times of collective crisis—he offers care that is grounded, sensitive, and personal. As a private chaplain, he provides tailored support for individuals and teams navigating the complexities of life, loss, leadership, and change.
He comes alongside parents who need extra support in navigating the challenges of parenting, especially when caring for children with trauma histories. His approach provides practical tools and compassionate guidance to help families build resilience and healing.
Outside of his professional calling, he is an avid triathlete, enjoys camping with his family, and finds joy in home improvement projects. These personal passions reflect his belief in holistic living and hands-on dedication—values he brings into every aspect of his chaplaincy work.
