Peter Garaj was born in the former country of Czechoslovakia where he attended and graduated from Bratislava’s University of Economics. Peter’s bold determination and love of the mountains led him to a successful career as an international downhill ski racer, his last ever race, and also first visit to America, was in Aspen, Colorado.

It was in Aspen that Peter married and began his family. Today his stainless steel sculptures can be found in public and private collections throughout the United States.
