Peter is a 31-year-old personal trainer and business owner from Madison, WI. While he seems genuine and thoughtful, Peter has kept walls up during the dating process and therefore isn't allowing himself to fall in love with Rachel.
Peter actually considered quitting The Bachelorette due to his fears, doubts and concerns, but he still manages to receive roses from Rachel. Rachel apparently hopes that he'll open his heart up to love before it's too late, but she's realistic enough in thinking he may never get to the point where he's ready to propose marriage.
