Show 101 Peter Pinkham (Bookseller)
Welcome to ALTBAYS Show (feat. Leo Magri)
Meet Peter Pinkham
After studying business at Victoria University of Wellington, Peter travelled and hitchhiked around New Zealand and the world for five years.
He trained as a psychiatric nurse while studying psychology. After working as a nurse therapist in Palmerston North, he purchased a half-share in a furniture manufacturing business in Wellington, where he married and had two sons.
After his first son was born, he took six months off to be a house-husband and during that time he bought a computer and taught himself to program.
For four years, Peter volunteered at Lifeline as a telephone counsellor and also managed a hospital.
For around seven years, he was a paddler in the waka (Ngā Toki Matawhaorua).
Peter currently owns a bookshop and aspires to be a politician.
