Peter Burkhart is a New York State/New York City provisionally certified teacher for grades 7-12, living in New York City, currently completing his final project for his Masters in Education at the State University of New York College at Oswego. He is presently looking for a new challenging teaching position.

In addition to being a Sherlockian, his other love is comic books. He has a massive collection and has read every one he owns. His parents feel they have taken far too much of his brain capacity. When asked, he can cite the exact issue of "Amazing Spiderman" that an event occurred in. He is woefully single and would not object to companionship provided his comic books can accompany him.

In his spare time he reads, browses at "The Strand" bookstore, solves the "New York Times" crossword puzzle, walks the streets of New York City, and plays chess.
