Peter was born on May 14, 1964, in Sandy Point, Nova Scotia, to parents Nancy and Aubrey Nickerson. He attended High School in Nova Scotia, graduating in 1982. One of Peter’s early passions was triathlon, going on to win the NS men’s overall championship in 1985. Later, in 2000, Peter moved his family to High River where he continued to train and compete in various sporting events. On August 25, 2002, Peter received the Provincial Master Sportsman 'A' title for Mountain Biking at COP in Calgary. His passion for racing extended beyond mountain biking, leading him to participate in numerous Moto Cross competitions. Peter had an innate talent in Moto Cross and quickly became a skilled racer and mechanic, moving from novice to intermediate competitions in just 2 years. Peter's life took a beautiful turn when he met Audrey Steele in August 2014. Their love story unfolded swiftly, resulting in a joy-filled marriage on September 2, 2017. Together, Peter and Audrey shared a bond built on mutual respect, unwavering support, and an abundance of love. In 2015, Peter embarked on a journey of self-discipline, deciding to train in Taekwondo. He received his black belt in 2018, a testament to his commitment to excellence in all aspects of his life. Peter and Audrey embarked on a new venture in 2018, founding Midnight Oil, where Peter devoted himself tirelessly to the restoration of classic vehicles. He took immense pride in his craftsmanship and delighted in supplying vehicles for town parades and movie sets. Peter was a man of many passions, from his love for classic cars to his thrill-seeking adventures in moto cross, mountain biking, and car racing – both drag and stock car – Peter was never one to back down from a challenge.
