Meet the Team

The “I am going to help victims of Hurricane Katrina who is coming with me…” group on FaceBook in 2005 was his brainchild – he could never have envisioned R.E.L.I.E.F. would become what it is today.  Peter helps with trip planning, fund raising, and recruitment. Peter lives between Miami, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.  In his other life outside R.E.L.I.E.F. he runs an international distribution company for American made wellness goods.  Peter loves skiing, scuba diving, and surfing – his favorite country is Costa Rica. 

Tikkun Olam is a tenant in Judaism that states that every person must do their part to “repair the world” and he is accomplishing that by running and planing our R.E.L.I.E.F. trips. Zach has been on medical and non-medical relief trips all over the world to places like Uganda, Peru, Israel and Haiti. He has worked as an EMT in both Los Angeles and Tel Aviv and is planning to start medical school in the coming year. His long term goal is to become a trauma surgeon and bring those skills to the places in the world that need it most.
