Peter Knight-Sheen is the President of Medrec, Inc. a highly specialized Recruitment, Staffing and Consulting firm for Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists. Medrec, Inc. is a 33 year-old family owned and operated organization that began in 1974 recruiting nurses from the UK. In 1991, Medrec, Inc. shifted all its focus to the therapy industry.

Peter graduated from Texas Christian University as a Distinguished Military Graduate and entered the Army with a Regular Army Commission. During his years in the military, Peter led hundreds of soldiers in Korea, Germany and Bosnia. In 1999, Peter left the military as a Captain in the Military Intelligence corps to join his father's company Medrec, Inc.

Over the course of 6 years, Peter has grown the company by over 300% and instituted a value driven philosophy that ensures stability for therapists and quality for clients. Peter's unique approach to candidates and their families has helped him to build the largest pool of PRN, contract, travel and direct hire therapists in Texas. In 2007 Medrec formally opened a nation-wide traveling therapist division.

Peter is a family man. His wife Megan Kunze and children Amalie Anne & George Burkeley are his pride and joy. When not traveling, Peter enjoys fly fishing, snow skiing and competing in multi-sport activities.
