Meet Peterson

Peterson, an asylee from Angola, came to the U.S. seeking safety and opportunity. He quickly became a vital member of the cohort, known for his craftsmanship, strong work ethic, and warm spirit. Nicknamed the “big guy” by volunteer coordinators, Peterson brought positivity and skill to every Habitat site and the construction lab. His contributions were so valued that Habitat staff cheered when he arrived. After graduation, he moved to Seattle and has since connected with industry professionals for long-term employment opportunities.
