Jedidiah Peterson, RN, CEN, AMB-BC

Jed's two great passions are fixing things and storytelling, and his career has given him plenty of material for both.

In the 1980s he worked in television production and audio engineering, developing a deep appreciation for the kind of work that happens just out of frame. In 1992, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, served overseas in Japan, and found time between duties to play goalkeeper for the Yokosuka Seahawks. An injury eventually grounded both the military career and the goalkeeper ambitions, but that simply meant ending one chapter and starting a new one.

Back stateside, Jed earned his RN and spent the next two decades in emergency and trauma nursing, which is, as it turns out, an excellent place to collect stories while fixing things and solving problems. That path brought him to the Upper Valley in 2009, and to Dick's House in 2021, where he now runs the Allergy Clinic and contributes across Primary Care.
