After growing up in Reno, Nevada, Peter Altmann briefly worked in Austria as an investment consultant before beginning theological education. Upon completion of his studies at Princeton, he spent six years as an Old Testament/Hebrew Bible instructor and researcher at the University of Zürich (Switzerland). Back in Reno for the last decade, Dr. Altmann has continued his primary research in biblical studies, in addition to working with churches to improve theological training for laity and with nonprofits to support at-risk young adults before becoming the David Allan Hubbard Associate Professor of Old Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary.
