Steven Palmer Peterson

Despite growing up in Los Angeles, Steve Peterson did not see any movie stars until he left the state. After the tedium of high school, and inspired by the great anti-war film Apocalypse Now, he joined the army. Steve served at Fort Benning, Georgia, on the demilitarized zone in Korea, and at the National Training Center in the Mojave desert. After release from the army, he realized that sitting in a classroom wasn't so tedious after all and studied philosophy at UCLA, USC and Rutgers University where he specialized in philosophy of science.
