Meet Peter Hallschmid: B.C. Green Party

IN HIS OWN WORDS

I’m a computer engineer, have been the CEO of a local tech company for the past 4 years, and now teach part-time at SFU. Previously, I was a professor at UBC.

WE ASKED

We asked each of the candidates four questions, with a 30-word limit on answers (answers that went over the word limit have been cut and indicated with an asterisk *). Here’s what Hallschmid said:

BIGGEST SUCCESS IN LIFE?

Although my wife and I are still in the middle of raising our three children, they’re definitely our biggest success in life.

BIGGEST FAILURE OR REGRET IN LIFE?

I’m definitely enjoying politics and wish I got involved earlier.

WHY I WOULD MAKE A GREAT MLA

I’m setting aside my career to make a difference in my community and am strongly committed to this. I enjoy hearing people’s stories and listening to their concerns.

FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE?

Book: “The Grapes of Wrath” by John Steinbeck

Movie: Interstellar
