My brother Jeff is 22 years old and is in college at Eastern Michigan University. He plans to continue his education and find a career in Sports Psychology. Jeff isn't much of an outgoing person, we are completely opposite in that way.

1. Personal Background: (5 sentences. Culture, nationality, schooling, important life events, etc.)
Peter Hurley started as a model, then eventually got to working behind the camera. In 1995 Hurley was training for the U.S. Olympics on the U.S Sailing team. He got a call soon after that being asked to model for a famous photographer, Bruce Weber. Bruce eventually encouraged Hurley to pick up a camera.

Out of all the pictures he ever took, headshots always turned out the best.
