As the entrepreneurial president and founder of Sagebrush Productions, Inc. in 1987, with offices in Santa Fe, NM, Chicago, Il, and Hot Springs, AR., Peter Carlson has written, directed, and produced a remarkable body of work (a partial listing of which follows).
Peter leads a multifaceted life. For the past 25 years, he has been one of the leading experts on decommissioning and decontamination of nuclear facilities and handling of nuclear waste, coinciding with this intense devotion to cleaning up the environment is his deep commitment to "giving something back to society" in the form of self-help videos, tapes, books, and workshops.
Peter is also an inspirational speaker and counselor. He works with groups and individuals on divorce, drugs, and the achievement of personal success in life.
In 2008 Peter was nominated for a Grammy and 2 BMA (Handy's) awards for his Blues CD's and DVD's, on Pinetop Perkins and Son Seals
