Peter Demos entered the family restaurant business at the age of twelve when he started as a dishwasher in his dad’s Western Sizzlin’ restaurant. From there his experience in the food industry slowly expanded with the opportunity to learn every possible aspect of the business.

After graduating high school, Peter earned a B.S. in Sociology from Middle Tennessee State University before studying law at the University of Missouri. After earning his Doctor of Jurisprudence degree, Peter decided his passion was only fully engaged in the exhilarating world of the food industry.

In 1999, Peter returned to his parents’ family restaurant, Demos’ Restaurant, with the single goal of growing the organization. His experience as a restauranteur grew he was given the position of chair on the board the Board of Directors for the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce, and president for the Tennessee Hospitality Association. Peter regularly speaks to groups about his experience as a restauranteur and a believer.

Today, Peter and his wife, Kristin, work closely together in both business and ministry. They now are teaching their two children to also serve God with their lives.
