Peter Fischer

Arizona State University Accessibility Compliance Coordinator; and ADA Compliance Consultant

Hey there! I'm Peter Fischer, originally hailing from the mysterious land between Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Annapolis (I promise it exists), I've been soaking up the sun in Phoenix, Arizona for over 25 years, and I'm convinced I've got a secret pact with the Valley of the Sun to never leave… at least until I retire.
I'm the middle child in a trio of siblings – two sisters, both East Coast enthusiasts (Boston and NYC represent!), and our parents are professional snowbirds. They've mastered the art of wintering in Cape Canaveral, Florida, and returning home to Annapolis, Maryland, for a dose of reality.

Back in the day (circa 2000), I escaped the clutches of ASU with a degree in Architecture and Design, and I've been unleashing my creative prowess on the world ever since. I've dabbled in everything from draftsman to project manager, designer, and even moonlighted as an ADA consultant extraordinaire. For nearly two decades, I've been the proud owner of my very own ADA consulting firm, making businesses and homeowners' dreams of accessibility come true.

In 2016, I was crowned the Chairman of the Statewide Independent Living Council by Arizona Governor Doug Ducey. But that wasn't enough for me; I also had a stint on the Phoenix Mayor's Commission on Disability Issues from 2006 to 2010. Then, I took the wheel as the City-wide ADA coordinator for the City of Phoenix, overseeing a curb cut replacement extravaganza in 2017, where 2,000 curbs praise and glory from those using wheelchairs.
Not content with just being an ADA superhero, I decided to level up and snagged a Master's degree in Public Administration from Grand Canyon University in 2017. Today, I'm the Accessibility Compliance Guru at Arizona State University, where I sprinkle my accessibility magic on construction designs and plans.

But wait, there's more! In my downtime, I'm a mad scientist brewing up the next world-conquering homebrewed beer, plotting epic travel adventures, and doubling as a patient rights advocate, whether I'm in the State Capital or causing a ruckus in D.C. Let's just say I like to keep my life as exciting as a rollercoaster designed by an architect who's had one too many sips of his own homebrew. 🍻✈️📜 #FischerFollies
