Peter Ferral, a retired sergeant major in the U.S. Marine Corps, proudly

embraces it as “a lifestyle, not a job.” His Marine Corps journey brims

with remarkable moments, including serving as an honor guard at the

White House and developing a love for Japan during his WestPAC

deployment. Fond memories of family road trips and shared pride in the

Marine life with his father and brothers hold a special place in his

heart. Post-retirement, he ventured into the food and beverage industry,

holding positions as general manager at Club Alliance and later at the

Chief Petty Officers Club. Two years ago, Peter embraced a healthier

lifestyle, recognizing the importance of good health as the foundation

for life's endeavors. He credits his wife, Hitomi, for positively

impacting his life and finds joy in being a proud father to their son,

Kenji.
