About me
Peter Beerman grew up on Long Island, NY, and has dedicated much of his career to working in nonprofits, technology, and data analytics. He also owns and operates a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school that offers free women’s self-defense classes and workshops to different groups. His personal journey as a Korean adoptee, rediscovered by his return to Korea and his subsequent search for information, coupled with deep reflections on identity and belonging, shapes his engagement with the adoptee community. Peter is excited to contribute to KAAN 2025 and share his evolving story of growth and change.
