Pivot and Thrive

Entertainer, singer and songwriter, Peter Seltser, was successful in the insurance business for decades. But a visit to a nursing home to serenade a staff member for a friend, turned into more than just a date for his friend. When the administrator heard Peter singing, he asked Peter to come back one week later to perform for the residents. His life took a new direction after that. His joy in serving others is infectious and Peter brings healing music and connection wherever he goes.
