PETER HAMILTON BARHYDT
Advisor
Peter’s skill set was gathered from the political arena and corporate world, with an ethical grounding of giving back inherited from his family. He’s a definite soft touch when it comes to nonprofits. He says, “it’s very difficult to say no when they need help.” He has been making significant contributions in high profile rescues of nonprofit initiatives, such as the 9/11 Memorial in Cos Cob Park, the YMCA, Safe Rides for our teenagers, and others.
