An entrepreneur, philanthropist, leader, and visionary, Peter founded MPOWR® with the goal of helping communities, businesses, and organizations come together, achieve outcomes and systems change, and collaborate more effectively. His vision of creating positive social change through Collective Impact is one of the driving forces behind our technology solutions, and he’s always the first one to ask, “What can we be doing better?” Peter applies the same passion and determination to improve and revitalize the urban center of Rockford, his hometown. Highly respected and admired, he brings an energy to a meeting, event, or conversation like no other. He is a two-time Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist, as recognized by Inc. magazine and EY. The Rockford community is extremely grateful for Peter and all of his contributions; he received the 2017 Excalibur Award, Rockford’s most esteemed and recognized community service honor, as well as the 2018 Crusader Community Health’s Spirit of Caring Award.
