He received his Master's of Education in Administration and Leadership degree from University of Phoenix. He just graduated from Fuller Seminary with his Masters in Theology in Spring 2017. His educational career began 20 years ago in Los Angeles Unified School District at Compton Ave Elementary School. He then taught for 7 years at a charter organization where he also was the founding principal of Thurgood Marshall Middle School, a blended learning and project-based focus school.
Peter ended his career as the Director of Blended Learning where he developed a comprehensive and innovate approach to education for this charter school district. Peter currently pastors The Rock Church and is the Regional Vice President for World Impact's West Coast Region. He has been married to his wife Didi Watts for more than 23 years and has three children: Jasmin Anderson, Avery Watts, and Imani Watts.
Pastor Pete and I talk about the amazing story of how he reconnected with his drug addicted father after a 30 year absence. That event inspired him to write his first book called, “Prodigal Father.” We talk about forgiveness, “for grieving,” reconciliation, and even the unique writing process that he used to write his first book.
