GREGORY ALLEN PETERSEN
My path through life so far has been defined primarily by the pursuit of passion, yearning for personal growth, and boundless curiosity. I consider myself fortunate that these qualities have led me to enriching and dynamic experiences.
Study of martial arts has been paramount in forming my sense of discipline, integrity, and community. The pursuit of skill and wisdom through these modalities is a permanent effort which has yielded incalculable value for my personal growth.
World travel is foremost among my passions. I am grateful to have visited 32 countries spanning all permanently inhabited continents. The richness of history, culture, and natural splendor in this world is boundlessly inspiring. Travel has contributed to my penchant for pushing my comfort zone, and for critical analysis of cultural ideals.
Creative expression is an important process in challenging and expanding perspectives. Fashion design is my preferred creative outlet. Fashion has been foundational in society as both art and commerce. I have studied fashion design at the Art Institute of Dallas, and footwear design at Ars Sutoria in Milan, Italy.
Academic achievement has been prominent among my goals. I have graduated summa cum laude at Pennsylvania State University in the Bachelor of Science degree in economics with a business minor. I chose this major because of my enduring interest in the subject. I am eager to apply my education toward an exciting career in investment banking, actuarial, or consulting, and toward my long-term academic goals which include completing a masters program.
