Upgrade StoragePeter Prevos
As a young boy, Peter Prevos always wanted to be a magician. He even shared the stage with Hans Klok, who is now famous. Hans won the first prize, and Peter came last.
Peter abandoned his dream to be a magician and studied construction, but his teachers said that he was too clumsy to swing a hammer. Heeding their advice, Peter moved to university and studied architecture. But alas, after one year behind the drawing board, the lecturer suggested that he wasn't artistic enough to be an architect.
Not perturbed by this third disappointment, Peter became a civil engineer and built structures, islands, harbours, bridges, and pipelines around the world.
Early in his technical career, Peter decided not to be technically minded enough to be an engineer and studied philosophy and management. In his professional life, Peter manages the data science team for a water utility in regional Australia.
Peter's interest in magic tricks and philosophy never waned, and in his spare time, he writes books and articles about culture, science and magic.
