He is President of the Peter Apo Company, a consulting service for businesses doing business in Hawaii for the first time.  He is a credentialed Native Hawaiian leader with a prolific history of service to the people of Hawai’i and the Native Hawaiian community.  He has been blessed with leadership roles spanning both the public and private sectors in a 40-year history of service with state and city government, the corporate business sector, and community-based initiatives. 
 
Peter’s public and community service includes serving on the first Board of Trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs in 1980 followed by 12 years of service as a state legislator in the Hawai‘i State House of Representatives which he ended as Vice-Speaker of the House.  In 1994 he joined Honolulu Mayor Jeremy Harris as Director of Culture & Arts for the City and County of Honolulu.  In 1996, he assumed the position of Special Assistant on Hawaiian Affairs to Governor Ben Cayetano.  He subsequently rejoined Mayor Harris as Director of Waikīkī Development.  Peter returned to elective office in 2010 for a second-round as an Office of Hawaiian Affairs Trustee for two terms ending in 2018.
 
His volunteer community service included chairing the board of directors for the Historic Hawai'i Foundation, the Pacific Islanders in Communications, the Native Hawaiian Hospitality Association where he was also a founding member. He further served on the board of the Hawai'i Visitors & Convention Bureau and was honored with a national appointment by the Secretary of the Army to serve as the Secretary’s Civilian Aide representing the State of Hawai‘i.

Lindamae Maldonado
"The Lost Children of Kalaupapa"In 1868, 8,000 Native Hawaiians suspected of having leprosy were forcefully removed from their families and sent to a leprosy settlement called Kalaupapa on the island of Moloka'i. Thousands of children who were born at Kalaupapa to parents with leprosy were taken at birth and many were given up for adoption. Lindamae Maldonado is a Lost Child of Kalaupapa and this is the story of her quest to find her birth family. Her story is not only hers. It is the truth that has haunted the lives of thousands of other Hawaiian children and their families. It is a story that is still unfolding, as the last remaining residents still living in Kalaupapa and their descendants try to reconcile the true identity of their families and their isolated pasts with the threat of what may happen to their refuge in the future.Available on Paperback from Barnes & Noblehttps://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-lost-children-of-kalaupapa-lindamae-carillo-maldonado/1139806281
