Peter Feigin '84 President of the Milwaukee Bucks As president of the Bucks, what are some of your primary responsibilities? I am responsible for the day-to-day operations of the franchise as well as for the development of our new arena and the surrounding 30-acre district. (Editor's note: Peter refers to the $500 million multi-use indoor arena in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ground breaking and construction began in June 2016.) What does a typical day look like? ere is no typical day. As a steward for the brand, I travel throughout the state—and country—speaking about the Bucks' vision for the future. I spend time with state, county, and local officials with whom we are partnered in the arena project. I work on sponsorships, community outreach, and advertising. Plus, I manage a 1,250- person organization! Are you able to attend many games? I attend all home games and a fraction of away games. Over the last two years, though, I have visited every NBA arena as we build our own, to educate myself regarding best practices. Prior to working with the Bucks, you held several marketing-related positions. Why were you drawn to that field? My parents were both marketers and operators. I've always loved the revenue-generating aspects of business, particularly those focused on growth and innovation. What are some of your proudest achievements? Being a good husband, dad, brother, son, and friend. If you weren't president of the Bucks, what do you think you would be doing? Teaching and coaching. Rumor has it that you and Dan (Assistant Head of School and Director of Upper School, and Peter's twin brother) have performed many pranks throughout the years. Are there one or two of which you're particularly proud? In 2007, one of Dan's assemblies landed on April Fool's Day. He asked me to run it. We wanted to see if anyone—faculty or students—could discern the switch. I came onstage and introduced the assembly speaker; twenty minutes later, Dan came onstage to moderate the Q&A. With the exception of the ever-observant Ms. Ayala, nobody had any idea that we kept switching! at was a good one. Twenty-five years earlier, we played a similar trick on Ms. Deluca. I hid under the table in math class, and every time Ms. Deluca turned to the blackboard, Dan and I switched places. e class went bananas, but Ms. Deluca never knew what was happening. Why did you choose to send your children to Trevor? What do you hope they will gain from their time here? I have always been impressed by Trevor's resourcefulness and appreciation of multiple intelligences. I went to school with many unique and talented kids. I was always amazed how Trevor served each one as an individual. My kids, Alex and omas, are very different, but both are served so well. ey are challenged, but also celebrated and appreciated for their strengths. When you visit Trevor, who do you most look forward to seeing? My kids! So, that is a bit of a trick question. I always make sure I check in with Mr. Cavar. I also feel reassured by seeing many long-term faculty members, all of whom I remember as awesome. Eric Lindow is a great example: He loved
