When he graduated from CalArts, Peter worked at The Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros. before ending up at Pixar and working in the arts and story department in the creation of Finding Nemo (2003). Since then, he's worked as an animator and story artist for films such as The Incredibles (2004), Ratatouille (2007), and WALL-E (2008). Continuing his work with Pixar,
he wrote and directed the animated film The Good Dinosaur (2015).
