About
Hello, my name is Peter Kantor and I am a thirty year veteran of the Point of Purchase field. I can take any project from concept thru to completion. I design, draw, and build all of my concepts, I understand how things are made, how that applies to my current project, and can offer suggestions for production since I have both run jobs and run jobs in my shop. I have set up assembly lines as well and worked side by side with assembly workers as well.
