He and Naomi founded the online tool My CARES Act Benefits amid the COVID-19 pandemic
In 2020, the couple launched an online tool called My CARES Act Benefits to help individuals and small businesses calculate their CARES Act benefit eligibility. After taking the quiz, users have access to professionals who may be able to provide pro bono legal assistance.
"After spending hours reading the stimulus bill and trying to understand what it meant for ourselves, as well as Peter's family's small business in Wyoming, we were struck by the difficulty of navigating what should be accessible information for struggling small businesses & individuals during a crisis like this," they shared on the website's About Us page.
"While not perfect, we hope that this website can provide a general framework on what you may qualify for, in addition to a number of resources that may provide you with more authoritative information on the CARES Act provisions."
