Peter Dempsey
Peter opened the Express Employment Professionals office with his wife, Tracy, on July 6, 2009. Ever since, he has been known in our community as someone who truly enjoys helping others to help themselves. Peter can be described as a person who likes to set goals, develop strategies, and motivating his team toward a singular purpose. Prior to Express, he owned another business that he watched grow to become very large before transitioning.
"I'm intrigued with the psychology of people, as well as
what motivates them to prioritize and put effort into something."
Peter believes the most rewarding aspect of his job lies in finding jobs for individuals who are looking for employment opportunities and sharing the Express work ethic with companies that culturally and professionally align with Express values.
Born and raised in Tacoma Washington, Peter ventured across the west coast for further education and employment opportunities. After 20 years in Southern Oregon, Peter moved to the San Francisco Bay region where Tracy grew up, and fell in love with the San Rafael area. In his pastime, Peter enjoys racing sports cars, participating in Triathalons, and reading.
