A native of Westlake Village, California, Peter, 28, grew up just minutes from "The Bachelor" mansion. He was raised with a strong example of the marriage he wants by his loving parents. Having met while working on the same flight over 30 years ago, Peter's parents have set the perfect example of lasting love. He and his brother, Jack, followed in their parents' footsteps, developing a passion for aviation. At 23, Peter was working as a pilot; and by 25, he landed his dream job as captain for a major commercial airline. All that is missing now is someone with whom Peter can share his life.
