Recent letter from a Conference Planner:
“I'd like to personally thank you for your valuable contribution to our Symposium.  Your comments and the exceedingly upbeat and humorous manner in which you delivered them did  wonders to assuage the very real fear of some of the members that "Economic Armageddon" was just around the corner.  Not often do I come across someone like you who can be remarkably entertaining while delivering a terribly important message about the economy.  You clearly have an incredible ability to command the eager attention of an audience, which is no small accomplishment.”

Meeting Planner:
“Peter is a pleasure to work with and smarter than a tree full of owls!”

Speaking Bureau:

Former Student:
“Studying finance under Ricchiuti is like playing  football for Vince Lombardi.”
